Sometimes in the present
we can suddenly get swept away by a vision of the past, a comforting image of a
happier time. We may recall the affectionate embrace of a loved one, the thrill
of past accomplishments, or simply what it was like to be near someone we’ve
lost. These visions often provide comfort and warmth and are the driving force
behind this new rug collection, Memories. Much like our remembrances of the
past, this collection of fine Tibetan rugs includes patterns that are poignant,
comforting, and anything but forgettable.
Memories have the power to remind us of the past while inspiring and assuring us
that there are more good times to come. Like remembering a first kiss or
precious times spent with family and friends, the Memories collection was
designed to elicit visions of past times. As fresh as suddenly recalling a
forgotten pleasant memory, these rugs offer an interesting and diverse blend of
colors and patterns. The intricate and clever designs of the Memories collection
allow you to get lost in an assortment of hues, from pale yellow to deep, rich
reds and blues.
As memories light the way to our past to show us where we’ve been, the Memories
collection has the ability to liven and illuminate the décor of any home or
office. These rugs are colorful enough to draw attention but do so without being
garish or overbearing. This grand but subtle collection is made with 100%
Himalayan sheep wool and hand knotted in Tibet with a special semi-dye,
providing the exceptional quality you’ve come to expect. The rugs in this
collection are available in a variety of sizes so that Memories will be sure to
light the corners of your room.
The Creation Of A Rug: The Wool Only 100% pure Himalayan sheep wool
is used in this rug which is considered
to be the best in the world for it's
texture and strength. Himalayan sheep wool is lustrous,
stain resistant, flexible and strong enough to
withstand furniture pressure
marks.
Carding Highly skilled weavers "Hand
Card" the wool into strands which helps
maintain the raw strength
and flexibility inherent in Himalayan sheep wool. After carding, the
wool is spun by hand to create the yarn for the rugs and
prepared
for coloration.
Dyeing Only 100% natural
vegetable dyes from materials such as tree barks,
root leaves, and
fruit peels are used to produce colors that are natural
and pleasing
to the eye.
Weaving This Tibetan rug is woven on a
wooden vertical loom with a warp which runs
the entire length of the
rug. The weaving process is
meticulously performed by highly-skilled weavers
in Tibet. This rug is hand-knotted to
ensure quality and a distinctiveness that allows
for longer wear, more
soil resistant and ease of cleaning compared to
machine-made rugs.
Smoothing A traditional Tibetan process of
smoothing allows the thickness of the
wool to be adjusted.
The fringes are set after the
smoothing has been completed.
Washing The rug is washed multiple times
using solutions which soften,
improve luster and the
feeling of the yarn and improve the color-fastness
of the vegetable-dyed
yarn.
Finalizing To add a unique and final touch,
designs are Hand-Carved onto the
rug surface.
Ensuring Quality Each rug is checked multiple
times by the detail-oriented quality
control team of Tibetan
weavers.
