Selection of wool

The journey starts with getting top-quality wool.

Carding, spinning, and cutting

The finest quality fibers are straightened into individual strands, and then spun on a spinning wheel called “Charkha”.
Dyeing
A variety of organic colors are prepared which are used to bring the right colors to the wool.

Digital and graphic designing

A dedicated team of graphic designers creates unique and exceptional designs digitally. These designs determine the beautiful patterns that adorn your home!

Weaving

Each knot is woven on a wooden frame of the loom by hand to give it a magnificent look. The intricacies of hand knotted rug designs showcase the mastery of the artisans.

Cleaning

Arteverk rugs are carefully washed several times to remove all dust particles left during the rug-making process. Cleaning gives a soft and rich appearance to the rugs.

The final step is to give a perfect ending to the rug through Zinjiri and Kinara Rafo. The sides and ends get a final touch by rug binding to reinforce the weaving. Coiled woolen binding is added after the weaving process to strengthen the ends.

In this way, Arteverk converts your living spaces into a dream come true with its timeless art!

A hand-knotted area rug is not just a decor piece, but a work of art. Each rug is a result of countless hours of labor and incredible craftsmanship. But, what does it take to create such a masterpiece?

Creating a hand-knotted area rug involves identifying quality materials, mastering the knotting technique, and ensuring appropriate care to maintain its beauty. The process, though demanding, results in a product of unparalleled quality and durability.

Firstly, selecting high-quality yarn is essential. Wool, silk, and cotton are commonly used and give the rug its texture and durability. Next, the design map - a vital guide for knotting the rug and ensuring a flawless pattern. Then comes the meticulous process of knotting. Each knot is tied by hand, bringing the design to life.

Finally, the rugs need proper care. Vacuuming, professional cleaning, and avoiding excessive sun exposure can ensure the durability and vibrancy of a hand-knotted area rug.
