Selection Of Wool
|
|
| The wool for all of
our Oriental rugs is chosen from the best available variety
all around the world. Special care is applied to obtain
extra long fiber to give additional strength and a longer
life to the rug. |
|
| |
| Dyeing |
|
|
| Fast non-toxic
chemical dyes are used for the majority of our carpets.
Vegetable (natural) dyes are used for Afghani rugs to
give them a natural luster and sheen. |
| |
| |
Designing |
|
| Design serves as the
building block of a carpet. It is drawn on a graph paper
and watercolors are used for the color combination. It
is then, translated into the weavers' code language called
‘Talim', which gives life to the designers creation. |
|
| |
| Hand
Knotting |
|
|
| The weavers, weave
their soul and character into the carpet they construct,
therefore, each hand knotted carpet depicts a nature of
its own. Each knot is woven with utmost care and excellence
to give you the very best. |
| |
| |
|
|
| To err is human! Hand
made Oriental rugs can contain faults. Each Oriental rug
is carefully screened and scrutinized for weaving and
other faults, and only the best carpets are offered for
sale. |
|
| |
| Washing |
|
|
| Washing of the carpet
is another laborious task, spanning over a four to five
days of step-by-step process, using different chemicals,
brings out the natural color and shine of the weavers
creation. |
| |
| |
Sun Drying |
|
| The next phase is of
drying all carpets in the sun to give them the ultimate
look that will adorn your dwelling. |
|
| |
| Clipping |
|
|
| After sun drying the
carpets undergo the clipping phase. This process imparts
an equivalent look to the wool. It is an inevitable process,
which is responsible for enhancing the details of the
hand woven carpet’s design and its colors. |
| |
| |
Stretching |
|
| Stretching is
applied to straighten the rug. Not every carpet has to
go through this process. Different methods are used to
make this process as effective as possible. |
|
| |
| Putting New Ends
and 'Kinaras' |
|
|
| Fringes are tied a
knot at the end to impart durability to the carpet and
to ensure life long use of the hand made carpet.
