Artisanal Craftsmanship

Since our founding in 1997, we’ve remained devoted to the art of hand-knotted rug making: a practice defined by precision, patience, and purpose. Our weavers utilize age-old techniques that have been passed down through generations to craft each piece entirely by hand.

Every fiber is handled with reverence, preserving its natural beauty while giving rise to designs that marry tradition with innovation.

Hand-Carding

Hand-carded yarn is combed by hand to align the wool fibers before spinning, preserving natural texture for a soft feel.
Handspinning

Wool and other fibers are spun by hand into yarn with organic texture and varied thickness for a refined, tactile finish.
Dyeing

The Dye Master oversees the creation of every hue, expertly blending and refining pigments—a meticulous, days-long art.
Drying

Dyed yarns are laid beneath the Kathmandu sun, drying naturally for days under the watchful care of skilled artisans.
Balling

Once sun-dried, the dyed yarns are carefully gathered and wound into balls, ready for weaving on the loom.
Graphing

Behind the loom, a hand-painted design guides the weaver, precisely detailing the color and placement of every knot.
Weaving

Working in synchronisation, the yarn is knotted around the warp threads and a metal rod to create durable and intricate designs.
Washing & Drying

Rugs are hand washed, pressed with wooden paddles called pharwa, and sun-dried to preserve texture and color.
Hand Finishing

Once dry, the rug is carefully laid flat and its pile trimmed by hand to the precise height needed for a refined finish.

Differences in pile heights are equalized by clipping, and the sides of the rug are neatly bound in a complementary yarn.
