Japanese Diamond Oxidized Silk/Wool Rug

Our Japanese Diamond Oxidized Silk & Wool Rug is a breathtaking piece exclusively at Kebabian’s with 70% silk and 30% wool pile. What makes this carpet even more unique is the wool and silk are dyed together in the same hank (hank dyeing is a time-consuming process but maximizes color penetration and retention and is less damaging to the materials). When the weaver goes to tie a certain color knot, they may get wool or silk yarn. After the weaving, the carpet goes through a delicate oxidation process where the wool pile is lowered slightly in comparison to the silk. This entire process creates the dramatic, eye-catching shimmer that gives the Japanese Diamond carpet both added dimension and beauty.
