AREA RUGS
BRAIDED
Braided rugs originated as early as 120 years ago. You can buy an expensive rug with a one of a kind design on it, but nothing beats the hand-made and old fashion charm like a braided rug. Braided rugs are made by braiding strips of fabric such as yarn, wool, or leather together, and go great in any kind of room. They can even be hung on walls.
FELTED
Felt rugs are made of matted wool. Wool becomes felt when it is subjected to moisture, heat, and pressure and is used in rugs and shag area rugs. Felt rugs using Felted wool are making waves in the world of modern and contemporary interior design
HANDLOOM
a handloom is a loom used to weave cloth or patterns on cloth and is operated manually without the aid of electric power. a powerloom is a type of mechanically powerloom driven by a steam engine or electric power used to weave cloth
VAN DE WIELE
Vandewiele, as a world leader in face-to-face carpet weaving, has gained huge experience and knowledge throughout the years. The full range of different qualities available on the market is covered by our machines, going from economical qualities to very high reed densities
JACQUARD
Crafted by hand, artisans weave cotton yarn through a cotton warp to create a tighter weave than traditional shuttle looms. The result is a striking Black Medallion Cotton Jacquard that lies flat and wears well.
HAND WOVEN
Hand-woven rugs are often referred to as “flatweaves” because they’re, well, flat. They are woven more like a basket, which means the front and the back look the same, making the rug reversible. They have no pile or actual “knots.”
HAND KNOTTED
From 15 knots to 100 knots per square inch, we have collections in almost all knotted qualities.
Hand-knotted rugs are thousands or millions of knots individually tied to a foundation. The rugs are “raw” after the knotting is finished and must be shaved down to get this finished, detailed look. They have a distinct back and a front; the front is the plush and detailed side shown here.
POWERLOOM
The power loom is a mechanised device used to weave cloth and tapestry. It was one of the key developments in the industrialisation of weaving during the early Industrial Revolution. Edmund Cartwright designed the first power loom in 1784, but it was in the following year that it was built.
HAND TUFTED
A hand-tufted rug is made by punching strands of wool into a canvas that is stretched on a frame with the help of a hand-operated tool. This process is not very time-intensive and does not require the same level of skill that hand-knotting does. After piling with wool, the rug is removed from the frame
