Natural Yarns for carpets and rugs:

This attached pitcure is mix of Linen and Woolen yarn mix rug, close view.

Do you know that the nettle yarn or aloe yarn is very rare. Meaning thereby that the yarn being used in carpet, are rare available
natural yarn.nettle in original, bleach nettle mix with silk. Hemp yarn or other kind are also the same pattern.

i think that the green weave covers those rugs which are made from the yarns which are natural, not synthetic.

Being non-availability of this yarn, this carpet or rug comes out very expensive. But still high end class, top luxirious
hotels are buying this kind of rugs.

You will be surised to know that soyabean yarn is also being used in making the rugs. But mind it these are not for normal
customers, but for high end, for the reason that the cost of these rugs are expensive if you compare with the woolen rugs.

Linen or flax yarn is another category, which are being used in making the rugs.

Though babana silk is not new, but it is still cosidered, rich quality yarns, and more important bio-degredable and natural.

We offer all these rugs, on special orders only.

Indian floor coverings are full of all kind of rugs, you name it and we make it.

This is really sometime strange that the nature has given us so many different natural resources which are being used
in many different ways.

hemp yarn, nettle yarn(aloe yarn), jute yarn, silk yarn, woolen yarn, all are being used in making rugs. All are natural
yarns, but are different in category making high difference in the cost of rugs.

hotel rugs

Hotel rugs or villa rugs :

Mostly in case of hospitality projects we are being asked for the foot traffic on rugs, fire retardent/flame retardent treated rugs, moth proofing and such other technical terms which are not required in case of rugs used for home etc.

The foot traffic depends on the kind of raw material which should be used in making the rug. So dont just go with the rug, also see the quality of wool or other yarn, as per the demand, before you decide for the rugs.

Foot traffic in case of residential rugs are not much important for the reason that you have limited one in your house, but when we talk for the projects of hotels, lobby, and such other places, where the number of foot stepping, per day are more than the normal. In some cases where the rugs are laid in hotel rooms, the foot traffic is considered medium/medium low, because the stepping on rufs are not high.

We get our product check with the authorised goventment insitute who specifies that of which standard the rugs are of, whether rugs are for high traffic? Whether rugs are for medium traffic or whether the rugs are for low traffic.

Regarding fire retardent/flame retardent, we have some chemicals which are treated on the rugs to make them flame retardent/fire retardent. There are different kinds of codes allocated for fire retardent rugs.

Moth proofing on rugs are done, when asked for, as every added feature in rugs costs.

the attached rug is not a simple rug, but a rug with fire retardent treatment being done. this rug looks simple, but not so. We are pleasure announcing that this rug in loop cut pattern we made for Avia Napa

Quality determination of custom rugs and custom carpets

Quality of Custom rugs or custom carpets ;-

When someone asks for the quality of handmade rugs, that means different terms in view of differnet types of rugs. In case of handknotted rugs the qualites are termed as 9/45 quality, 10/50, 10/52, 11/55, 12/60, 13/65, 14/70 onwards, some also calls these as 9/9, 10/10/, 11/11, 12/12, 13/13, 14/14 onwards. However in case of indo tibetan handknotted pattern, the qualities are termed as per knots. These are called 45 knots, 60 knots, 80 knots, 100 knots, 150 knots and 200 knots. Both these are handknotted, but are different in sense of pattern of weaving.If the design is moderate and not too much complicated we suggest not to go with the higher knots and increase the cost.

In case of handtufted rugs the quality is mainly determined with the yarn consumed per sq meters or say per sq yard.

In case of handloom rugs or flat woven rugs/dhurries, the quality is determined with the closeness of warping, again you can say the density.

Custom rugs with fringes and without fringes

Rugs with Fringes and without fringes. Some demand handmade rugs with fringes some asks for handmade rugs without fringes, some asks for handmade Rugs with embossing some doesnt like the handcarving and asks for the rugs without embossing. Some get confused with 2 term embossing and carving, please note that these are taken one and same thing. Embossing or say carving on rugs, can create such beautiful effect, that the plain rug looks like weaved rug. We are talking all these issues in respect of hand tufted rugs and handknotted rugs.
