Tamarian Carpets

A Tamarian rug is a true work of art. Every step of the production is done with the care and touch of the human hand. The techniques and tools have remained unchanged for hundreds of years. The materials are the finest nature offers; from the lanolin-rich, hand-carded hand-spun Tibetan wool, to the pot-dying process. Tamarian's dyemasters use finely manipulated chrome dyes to enhance the wool's natural boldness and luster, while maintaining colorfastness for decades to come. Each rug is woven on an upright loom, using the Tibetan Loop Senneh knot. When weaving is complete, the rug is cut from the loom, sheared and trimmed, and given a final wash to bring out the rich hues and variations that are the hallmark of every Tibetan carpet.
