Manufacturing

All rugs are handwoven in Bhadohi, Uttar Pradesh, India using three primary techniques:

  • Hand-Knotted: The pinnacle of rug craftsmanship. Each knot individually tied using the Persian (Senneh) knot. A skilled weaver ties 8,000-12,000 knots per day. Up to 120 knots per square inch.
  • Hand-Tufted: A tufting tool punches yarn through canvas backing, creating plush, durable surfaces with design flexibility.
  • Hand-Loomed: Ancient weaving art creating flat-weave rugs with distinctive textures. Reversible designs.
A small 3x5 foot rug requires 200-300 hours of work. Larger pieces can take 800+ hours.
