“For centuries, Himalayan wool, nettle, hemp, and silk have been woven into artistic carpets – a tradition that combines nature and craftsmanship in perfect harmony.”
Perfection from nature – For unique creations
We use durable yarns that are knotted alone or in a yarn mix. Each yarn has its own properties, which we consciously use. Most yarns are sourced locally, are renewable and are processed by hand - just like hundreds of years ago. The yarns can be used in their natural color or dyed.

The yarn blend of a hand-knotted rug, alongside its design, significantly shapes its character – from its feel and sheen to its color effect and texture. Each combination of wool, silk, or other natural fibers opens up unique aesthetic possibilities and largely determines the final design.
