FLATWEAVE

Flat weave rugs, also known as dhurries or kelims, are woven on a horizontal loom, created by hand through the process of interlocking warp (vertical) and weft (horizontal) threads to form a non-pile rug. Our rugs are crafted on a horizontal loom with a fixed warp, this means the loom is set to the maximum dimensions of the rug meaning, for instance a 6 meter rug is woven on a loom of the same size. This fixed warp allows us to achieve a very tight warp and provides excellent strength and stability to finished woven rug.

Our flatweave rugs are expertly crafted in India by families who have been weaving for generations. Flatweave rugs have a low profile and lighter weight, they are very durable and easy to care for.

All our flatweave rugs are certified by Label Step the fair trade certification for handcrafted rugs. Our rugs also carry the Goodweave label who work to eradicate child labour and promote high standards within the rug industry.

Hand knotting is an ancient rug craft by which the most intricate designs are achieved. Crafted on a vertical loom skilled artisans tie individual knots with yarn around a vertical warp. The knotting process is slow and meticulous, it takes thousands of knots create the design row by row. Once the rug has been knotted it passes through many more skilled hands to execute the washing, fine carving and finishing. Hand knotted rugs have a refined pile and medium profile.

Our hand knotted rugs are handmade in Nepal to the highest ethical standards and are certified Fair Trade by Label Step.
