Tibetan
rugs have long been admired for their lush texture, soft touch and
distinctive Tibetan weave. Hand-knotted of pure wool in the original
style, this rug gives us an excellent interpretation of Tibetan mountain
weaving. Level Cut Pile: The best-selling type of Rug is textured cut pile. Cutting looped Rug fibers at the top creates cut pile with yarn bundles standing straight. Preserving cut pile several times creates a luxurious appearance. Cut pile is less resistant to crushing than other types of Rug Chowchow: chowchow is a highly twisted cut pile Rug suited for high traffic areas. It has short fibers that tend to curl in different directions at the surface to hide footprints and vacuum marks. Cut and
Loop Pile:
Cut and loop pile combines cut and looped fibers. It provides a
variety of surface textures or sculptured effects. Cut and loop pile
Rugs are available in solid or multiple colors. The different
levels in this type of Rug can hide dirt and footprints. Level
Loop Pile:
Level loop pile is made by weaving even loops of yarn into Rug backing at
both ends. This type of Rug is very strong and track resistance
because of its strong loops. Higher loops create a more luxurious
appearance. Level loop piles with short and densely packed loops are
easy to clean. They prevent dirt from filtering into Rug. This
type of Rug is ideal for high traffic areas. Multi-Level Loop & Cut Pile: Multi-level loop and cut pile is heights vary (usually two to three different loop and cut heights). This Rug creates an appearance of random texture. This type of Rug is good for high traffic areas but the smaller loops can sometimes hold more dirt. Fringe:
We have had the fringe on each rug neatly pulled back under the rug and
covered with a fabric them, allowing the client to leave it hidden or
released. Abrash:
Abrash refers to the hue or color change found on many older rugs. The
variations in color are usually the result of inconsistent dyeing of the
wool, or through the introduction of a new wool batch while weaving the
rug. Abrash is
a striated plush which resembles the sought out look of old that is very
much received. Our
craftsman combine the alluring texture of hand-spun wool and our unique
dying process to produce subtle color variations that make each of our
rugs a one-of-a-kind classic. |
