Material and Craftsmanship

This piece is made from pure cotton, known for its soft texture, breathability, and durability. The all-natural fibers offer a comfortable feel underfoot, while also being easy to care for. The sturdy construction ensures it can withstand everyday use, making it a practical and stylish addition to your home. The artful design showcased in this piece comes from Kalamkari, which is a traditional form of textile art. This centuries-old method often involves meticulous hand-painting or block-printing, passed down through generations of skilled artisans. This particular rug is a stunning example of the artistry, showcasing the exquisite attention to detail and the vibrant interplay of color that defines the practice. Because each durri is handcrafted, subtle variations in pattern and color are to be expected, adding to the unique character and charm of each piece.

Styling and Versatility

This versatile rug seamlessly blends into a variety of decor styles, from bohemian and eclectic to farmhouse and traditional. Its intricate pattern adds visual interest without overwhelming the space, allowing it to complement existing furniture and accessories. Place it under a coffee table to anchor your living room, use it as a bedside rug for a cozy feel, or display it as a wall hanging to add a touch of global charm. The size of this rug makes it ideal for smaller spaces, or for layering with larger rugs to create a more textured and dynamic look. Its relatively lightweight design also makes it easy to move and reposition as needed. Its timeless design makes it an investment that will be cherished for years to come. It's a true reflection of beauty, function, and enduring style.

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.
