The finest quality of organic fibers such as wool, silk, mohair, cashmere are used with pride. Plants like hemp, nettle, cactus and flax (linen) have strong and beautiful fibers, which we harvest by hand, after the growing season is completed. Every yarn is spun by hand. Every rug is knotted, trimmed, washed, and dried by hand. A master dyer and our weavers work together to create each rug.
We are your partners in the creation of your custom vision. We like our light natural - we choose to dye, spin, card, weave, trim and wash your rugs during the daylight hours in Nepal as often as possible.

Hemp, which grows wild near remote villages in Western Nepal, takes about a year to mature.
Harvested at the end of the growing season when the plants are cut, the stalks are treated with organic material and dried for two to three months.
Creating yarn from hemp plants is a multi-step process performed by hand.
Our natural treatment of the yarns releases the beautiful fibers from the indigenous hemp plants.
