We deeply value the rugs we create and the people who make them. Every one of our designer rugs is 100% handmade, natural and sustainable, sourced directly from the rug makers overseas.
The Suzani! This piece incorporates many endearing and empowering motifs. Here, the paisley design represents mother with child, the flowers - paradise, and the scorpions - knowledge. The sunflower found in the center and along the border represents good luck and longevity. Available in an 8 x 10, this rug was hand knotted by Uzbek women in Mazar-i-Sharif, northern Afghanistan, using handspun vegetable dye local ghazni wool and silk from Samarkand. May we live and love joyfully in the home ❤️

Hand loomed, hand knotted, hand woven?! There’s many ways to make a rug. Joshua gives a little primer on hand loomed construction - pros and cons. It’s important for you to know your options, and why, in most cases we suggest hand knotted. However, there may be circumstances that lend itself better to hand loomed. We’re here to give you the low down to make intentional, informed decisions.

Understated Elegance is our Turkish Knot Khotan. An exceptional designer selected this piece for her very own home, and brought this piece to life. Hand knotted using the symmetrical Turkish knot, with handspun wool dyed within the same factory, allows for very little variation from piece to piece. We have stock in a variety of sizes, and it is also available for custom size and color.

Into the back room I went (much organizing to be done) only to be pleasantly surprised by yet more treasure! Goodness, where did these come from? Gorgeous silk ikat and hand embroidered suzani pillows, absolutely stunning, and available in multiple sizes, colors and designs (no two the same). We offer with or without pillow insert, DM for more info.

It’s FRIDAY! We had an uplifting morning here unbaling pieces from Afghanistan we’ve had stored in the back room...for more than a minute…Needless to say they are so beautiful and the colors and quality are exceptionally well done. Sizes range from 2’ x 6’ to 4’ x 12’ runners (a couple pairs in there, meaning mother and daughter weave them side by side), and a few squares.

What do we have here? Veggie Dye! An old world photo thanks to John Kebabian’s trips to our rug makers overseas. Here we have skeins of yarn that are saturated with matter root dye. In the foreground, the skeins are being mordanted to be able to receive the dye. The yarn must be mordanted before being dyed, so it can take the dye and be thoroughly saturated.
