MATERIALS & TECHNIQUES


MATERIALS

New Zealand Wool — The backbone of our rugs. Long-staple, naturally lanolin-rich, soft underfoot and remarkably hardwearing. It resists soiling, takes dye beautifully, and only gets better with age.

Natural Silk — For luminosity. Silk catches light the way nothing else can, so we use it where it matters most — details glow, outlines sharpen, colors deepen.

Allo (Himalayan Nettle) — A wild fiber hand-harvested in the Himalayas and spun by local artisans. Strong, subtly textured, and deeply sustainable — a fiber with a story in every strand.

Linen — Crisp, matte, and honest. Linen brings a relaxed, natural hand and an understated texture that grounds bolder designs.

Mohair — Spun from the fleece of the angora goat, mohair has a silky luster and a soft, luminous sheen that elevates everything it touches.

Merino Wool — Extra-fine and exceptionally soft. Merino gives our rugs a refined, velvety surface without sacrificing durability.

Eco Nylon — Recycled nylon with all the resilience of the original. We use it for high-traffic spaces where performance matters — proof that practical can still be beautiful.

Hand-Knotted, Knot by Knot

Knots per inch (KPSI) measures the fineness of a hand-knotted rug — literally, how many knots are tied within one square inch.

The higher the number, the finer the weave: sharper detail, crisper curves, more nuanced shading. It also means more knots, more hours, and more skill in every square foot.

We work mostly with 60 knots per inch, 80 knots per inch, 100 knots per inch, and 120 knots per inch
