2. Crafted with Tradition: Where Heritage Meets Handmade Art The ‘handmade carpets and rugs’ tale kick-starts in the heart of artisan communities where generations of skills are lovingly passed on where each carpet is the lifeline of 5 families. This rug is not just meant to be a floor covering but a blend of heritage, culture, and expert craftsmanship. Unlike machine-made carpets, handmade carpets are created using methods requiring time, skill, and an intense eye for detail-all to give the carpet its uniqueness. It would begin from the selection of the finest materials- bamboo silk, cotton, or viscose. Each fiber is carefully chosen for specific features, providing a great mixture of luxury, durability, and beauty. Wool is remarkable in that. It is known for being very strong and very warm and is recognized as eco-friendly, making it one of the most favorable materials for hundreds of homes or wealthy interiors. At Loop and Cut, we don't just use any wool; we boast a premium collection and sourced our wool only from the best suppliers, including handspun varieties and premium wool from New Zealand. Hence, a rug that feels indulgent underfoot and has a long lifespan. Bringing Designs to life with Style and Detail Each handmade carpet starts with a master plan—a detailed sketch that gives form to that which will apparently become an art piece. Designers and master weavers come together to transpose designs from classic Persian scenes, through bold geometric patterns, to clean contemporary styles. And it's not really a design choice; it conveys the understanding of balance and symmetry and the subtleties of color and form. At this stage, the design may very well start with drawings on graph paper and later be conceptualized in some computerized way. Credited with great significance, this stage is pertinent not only for the visual qualities of the design but also for its impact on the degree of complexity that follows during carpet production. The knotting of rugs by hand is an incredibly time-consuming process. Depending on size, complexity of pattern, and knot density, a single carpet takes anywhere upto 60 days to produce. Every knot tied is a manifestation of the skill and patience of 3 artisans working together for 2 months to bring this 8×10 masterpiece. The Art of Knotting: Crafted with Skill and Care The different techniques of weaving have indeed distinguished hand-knotted rugs; the ones being cradled in luxury by their craftsmanship. Hand-Knotted Rugs: A Timeless Craft

3. In hand-knotting, the process of making one rug consists of tying each knot individually, moment after moment, attaching it to the warp threads on a loom, hence making it a highly laborious and time-consuming process. It requires great skill and patience to create a densely packed, soft, pile surface with elaborate design work, some of which will stand the test of time. The finer the rug, the more knots it has per square inch; knot counts will run, usually, 80 knots per square inch. This ancient method is held in reverence for durability and perfection. Each style is an attitude of craftsmanship, a representation of beauty and texture applied to uplift any given living space. The Art Of Colour and Dyeing Colors distract the eyes in terms of wavelengths-they have emotional values also. At Loop and Cut, colors matter for creating a different ambiance and defining identity. The dyeing process breathes life to each of our rugs-in a naturalised and synthetic fusion with the design, thus absorbing the materials. Natural dyes for wool are derived from plants, roots, and minerals. Such dyes create multiple tones that are alike to the warmth of earthy shades in rugs rich in character bred into them through aging. They are, however, quick synthetic colors-denoting tones that are emotionally rich and durable. Outside of the pure dyeing process, everything else boils down to science. Each carefully weighed batch of yarn ensures that the hue is consistent through every inch of the rug. Control over all parameters ensures thereby that the final product has an utterly immaculate appearance, irrespective of size or complexity of design. In a way, each rug becomes a beautiful mosaic of yarn threads dyed internally for the sake of making that creative vision come true. Finishing Touches That Define True Luxury Before exiting Loop and Cut, our rugs are put through a long and elaborate finishing process that transforms the raw wool into a luxurious interior décor item. Here is how this works: ● Hand spinning the silk to create an even surface, revealing the design of the rug. ● Binding and serge stitching reinforce the edges so that the rug doesn't fray and thus enhances its durability. ● Hand Washing and softening create an even better feel for the hand and further accentuate the colors into one that speaks of richness and elegance. ● Stretching ensures that the rug is perfectly shaped and aligned.
