Weaving techniques
Hand-tufted
Hand-tufted rugs are suitable for both residential and commercial applications. The yarns we use in hand-tufted quality are New Zealand Wool, Silk, Nylon, and Felted NZ Wool. Any design, shape or color can be produced. Our selection of yarns can be used individually or combined to create various textures and finishes.
Standard lead time for a hand-tufted area rug or carpet is 8-10 weeks.
Hand-knotted
Hand-knotted rugs, commonly found in residential settings, have a distinct striated finish which contrasts to the smoother look of hand-tufted pieces. Production of varying weights, from 40 to 150 knots per square inch, allows for a full range of designs – from simple to high-density, complex ones. Like hand-tufted rugs, fibers can be combined to create a variety of textures. The yarns we use in hand-knotted quality are Tibetan wool and silk. Any design, shape, or color can be produced.
Standard lead time for a hand-knotted rug or carpet is 12-16 weeks.
Flat-woven
Due to their casual yet durable nature, flat-woven rugs work equally well in a beach home or a commercial setting. Geometric designs are best suited for this fabrication, as they are woven on vertical and horizontal planes. The yarn we use in flat-woven quality is Tibetan Wool. Designs are limited to 1-6 colors.
Standard lead time for a flat-woven rug or carpet is 8-10 weeks.
Hand-woven
Hand-woven rugs are recommended for residential settings. Similar to flat-woven rugs, geometric designs are best suited for this fabrication, as they are woven on vertical and horizontal planes. The yarn we use in hand-woven quality is Tibetan Wool. Designs are limited to 1-4 colors.
Standard lead time for a hand-woven rug or carpet is 8-10 weeks.
*Due to the nature of the hand-made process, overall dimensions for flat-woven and hand-woven rugs may differ +/- 3-5%, whereas hand-knotted rugs may vary +/- 2% in length and 1-2" in width.
