custom carpets
The custom process allows our clients to create, by hand, a carpet that fits
their individual needs. Our years of experience can help facilitate the
selection of pattern, scale, weave, and materials. The goal is to actualize
a carpet that reflects the unique character and style of the individual.
-
design
Choose from hundreds of existing patterns, or bring us a design idea we can
help you translate to a carpet. -
size
Custom carpets can be ordered in any size or shape. Looms are large enough
to accommodate rugs up to 24ft x 30ft. -
color
Hundreds of yarn colors are available to choose from. Tweed colors together
for added texture. -
knot count
Knot counts range from 40 to 150 knots per inch. The higher the knot count
the thinner the rug, and the more detail we can achieve. -
materials
Our custom carpets are woven with Tibetan wool, Chinese silk, hemp or a
combination of all three.

Watercolor painting

- Karen Lawson asked us to turn her watercolor painting into a carpet.
This was a complicated
project since we had to mimic the brush strokes and copy the subtle variation in color.
Computer rendering

- A computer rendering was created to show layout of color, pattern, and scale. The ribbon design
is silk, and the remaining field color is wool.
Carpet graph

- A graph was made of the carpet indicating every knot of the carpet. Each box translates to an
individual knot of the rug.
Computer rendering of corner sample

- Once the layout is finalized, it is time to weave a corner sample. A computer rendering of the
sample is designed to show all the colors used in the final rug.
Woven corner sample

- The woven corner sample arrives in approximately 6-8 weeks. We always
recommend ordering
a corner sample first to avoid any disappointments.
Finished carpet

- This is a photo of the final carpet. It measured approximately 12ft x 12ft.
