Tibetan hand-knotted rugs:
Tibetan families in Nepal continue a centuries-old tradition, specially adapted for Joan Weissman's modern designs. Master artisans hand-card, spin and dye the lanolin-rich local wool, adding silk for luminous details. After a complex process of warping the loom, they tie rows of knots around a metal rod. Every row of knotted loops is sliced with a blade, creating the characteristic texture of Tibetan weaving. Our standard rugs count 80 knots per inch, providing a refined and tightly woven structure. Rugs with silk details accommodate the finer yarns with 100 knots. All the finishing, from trimming to careful washing in herbal soap is done by hand, contributing to the individuality of each Tibetan carpet. |
