A Touch of Timeless Tradition

Introduce an element of artisanal charm to your home with this exquisite durri. More than just a floor covering, this piece embodies the enduring legacy of traditional craftsmanship, bringing warmth, texture, and a story to your living space. Its rich color palette and intricate detailing make it a versatile addition that complements a range of interior styles, from bohemian and eclectic to classic and contemporary.

Crafted from the Heart of Nature

This durri is painstakingly created using time-honored techniques of Kalamkari artistry. Kalamkari, derived from the Persian words ‘kalam’ (pen) and ‘kari’ (craftsmanship), is an ancient Indian art form involving intricate hand-painting or block-printing on fabric. The beauty of this technique lies not only in the artistry but also in its commitment to natural dyes. The vibrant colors are derived from plant extracts, minerals, and other natural sources, resulting in a rug that is not only beautiful but also eco-conscious. Each piece is a testament to the artisan's dedication and skill, making it a true work of art.

Botanical Rhapsody Underfoot

The rug features a captivating all-over pattern of vegetative motifs. These stylized floral and leaf designs intertwine to create a visually rich tapestry. The meticulous detail and repetition of the pattern provide a sense of harmony and balance, turning your floor into a canvas of natural beauty. The intricate details of the border further enhance the overall aesthetic appeal.

Pure Cotton Comfort

Made entirely from pure cotton, this durri offers a soft and comfortable feel underfoot. Cotton is known for its breathability, durability, and ease of care, making it an ideal choice for high-traffic areas of your home. The natural fibers provide a pleasant tactile experience, inviting you to sink your toes into its comforting embrace. The weave ensures a robust and long-lasting piece, designed to withstand daily use while retaining its beauty and charm.

Versatile Placement and Care

With dimensions of 74 inches x 45 inches, this durri is perfectly sized for a variety of spaces. It can be used as an area rug in your living room, bedroom, study, or even hallway. It's lightweight and easy to move, allowing you to experiment with different layouts and create a unique ambiance in each room. Caring for your cotton durri is simple. Regular vacuuming will help to remove dust and debris, and professional cleaning is recommended for stubborn stains. With proper care, this investment in your home will endure, bringing joy and beauty for years to come.

From Fiber to Finery: Unveiling the Craftsmanship Behind Handmade Rug Creation

A carpet serves as a textile floor covering and can be seen in almost all Asian homes. European nations also are fascinated by their beauty and thus hand-knotted carpets are in great demand all over the world. A carpet typically consists of an upper layer of fabric and backing attached to it. Carpets can be made in any color by using dyed fibers. Different types of motifs and patterns are fabricated or embroidered on the fabric to beautify the floor. Indian craftsmen make carpets in such a way that every piece bears designs with attention to detail. Bright colors and high-quality fabric are used for their production.

Hand-knotted carpets are made using different types of techniques such as the Turkish knot (symmetrical), Persian knot (asymmetrical), Jufti Knot (tied around four warps instead of two), or Spanish knot (solo warp symmetrical). Common materials used in the making of the finest carpets are cotton, silk, wool, and jute.

1. Wool collection and processing

This is the step in the carpet-making process in which the best quality raw wool is imported or bought from the market. It is then cleaned and any unwanted particles are removed by washing it thoroughly. Now the clean wool is dried in the sun for two to three days.

2. Woolen yarn spinning

Spinning involves a process called carding which is either done on carding rollers run by hand or with the help of a carding brush. This wool is now spun into yarn by spinning it on a spinning wheel, also called a charkha. The thickness of the yarn depends on the type and quality of the carpet to be made.

3. Dyeing yarn

After the yarn is obtained, it is then dyed into different colors as per the requirement. The dyed yarn is now allowed to be sun-dried for at least two days.

4. Designing

Designing a carpet is time-consuming and the most important step. The size, designs/patterns, and colors of the carpet contribute to the overall look of the carpet. The artisan first draws the design on paper and then copies it on graph paper.

5. Weaving (Hand-knotting)

Weaving involves two important parts; weft (dyed yarn) and warp (reeled yarn). The warp yarn is loaded to the vertical loom and the graph paper containing the carpet sample design is put in front of the weaver. Each weft yarn is knotted to each warp yarn by hand. In this way, the whole carpet is weaved and the desired pattern is obtained.

6. Washing

The carpet is now sent for washing multiple times with water and cleansing agents to remove dust and dirt from it.

7. Clipping and Binding

Now any protruding knots and extra threads are cut off using scissors and clippers. Now the craftsmen ensure that all four sides of the carpet and weaves are locked by stitches so that the carpet remains intact and strong.

8. Final washing and drying

The carpet is again washed and dried for the last time to make it appear absolutely neat and clean, ready to be put for sale.

Handmade carpets are often more expensive than those made by machines. It takes a minimum of six months to complete one carpet and this elaborate process involves around 20 - 25 artisans working at the same time.
