From fibre to floor

Every carpet passes through six carefully managed stages. This is how raw fibre becomes a finished piece made to last for decades.

Our Process

Slow-made, carefully checked

A hand-knotted carpet can take months to complete and passes through dozens of skilled hands. We oversee every stage ourselves, so the carpet that arrives is exactly the carpet you approved.

  1. Balls of natural wool yarn in ivory, grey and brown on a wooden table

    Material Selection

    Great carpets start with great fibre. We select wool for staple length and lustre, silk and bamboo silk for strength and sheen, and natural fibres for consistency. Every lot is inspected and tested before it is accepted.

    • Fibre grading and lot testing
    • Moisture and tensile strength checks
    • Approved, long-standing supplier network
  2. Shelves of hand-dyed wool yarn arranged in a full spectrum of colours

    Yarn Preparation & Dyeing

    Fibres are carded, spun and plied to the thickness each design demands, then dyed in small batches. Our dye masters match every shade to the approved colour standard and test it for colourfastness.

    • Hand-spun and machine-spun yarns
    • Small-batch dyeing for even colour
    • Shade matching against approved poms
  3. Weaver hand-knotting a patterned carpet on a vertical loom

    Weaving, Knotting & Tufting

    Design graphs guide our artisans as they build the carpet: knot by knot on vertical looms, thread by thread on handlooms, or with a hand-tufting tool on stretched canvas, depending on the construction.

    • Hand-knotted: approx. 60 – 300+ knots per sq. inch
    • Hand-tufted: cut, loop and carved piles
    • Handloom: dhurries, kilims and textured loops
  4. Artisans hand-finishing traditional carpets on the workshop floor

    Finishing

    Finishing turns a woven piece into a finished carpet. Rugs are washed with care to release excess dye and lift the pile, then sheared, carved, bound and edged by hand.

    • Traditional washing and sun-drying
    • Shearing, hand-carving and stretching
    • Binding, fringing and backing

    Quality Inspection

    Every carpet is checked against its specification for dimensions, knot density, colour accuracy, pile height and finishing. Anything that falls short goes back for correction instead of out of the door.

    • Dimension and squareness checks
    • Colour match against the approved strike-off
    • Final visual and tactile inspection
  6. Rolled carpets with traditional patterns ready for dispatch

    Final Delivery

    Approved carpets are rolled, wrapped in protective layers and labelled for site. We prepare export documentation and coordinate shipping by sea, air or road to your door or project site.

    • Moisture-resistant protective packing
    • Export documentation support
    • Room-by-room labelling for projects

Weaving Techniques

Three ways to make a carpet

Each construction has its own character, lead time and ideal use. We help you choose the one that suits your space and budget.

Quality Promise

Documented at every step

Quality is not a final check. It is built into the way every order is specified, sampled and approved.

Specification Sheet

Every order starts with a written specification covering size, fibre, construction, pile height, colours and finishing.

Strike-off Approval

For custom work we weave a sample section so you can approve colour, texture and quality before full production.

Final Inspection

Each finished carpet is measured, photographed and inspected against the approved sample before it is packed.
