Handloom carpets for your home

In the fast developing era of technology and science, we have seen AI tools perform better on tests, machines churning out products faster than human labour, and robots clean better than a homemaker himself. However, in between all the advancements in science and tech, if there is one thing that no Robot, AI, or machine can completely overtake is, the creative essence of being human.

When an artisan sews flowers on a rug that he has woven with his skilled, patient, and determined hands, it is not only the final product that makes the artefact so special, but the entire process of his creation that is so forbearing. This process, as every thread of the final product proves, stands as a perfect witness to this slow yet arduous flow of skill that makes up every handcrafted carpet. The journey he undertakes as he steps out of his house to handpick the perfect, plush yarn to acquire the right material for his rug; the effort he takes to sit straight regardless of the weather on the porch of his humble hut to create the knots of his carpet, and the way his thoughts streaming through his human brain give shape to the curves of the final design, are all the factors that make the process of handcrafting exquisite.

Oh so common yet extraordinary it is to be human. We at Obeetee Carpets, celebrate and value the human essence and our artisans’ passion for their craft; and that is the reason why everything we make is handcrafted. A small tour of our website can give you a glimpse of our wide range of collections that feature carpets ranging from Hand Knotted, Hand Tufted, to flatweaves.

We love handcrafted and are certain that so do you. This is why in this week’s blog, we discuss the 5 best carpets in our handloom category, and at the end of this blog, and we will also be sharing a secret. Keep on reading till you reach the end.

All things handloom

Weaving a rug by hand on a vertical loom with a mounted warp is the traditional method used to create handloom carpets. The standard of the end result is established throughout the weaving process, and two pairs of crisscrossing threads form the rug's foundation. A tiny thread is then used to push the fibre strands together. The pile's height is proportional to the rod's diameter. In contrast to their machine-made counterparts, hand-woven carpets include a finished edge seal.

The rug goes through a chemical cleaning procedure soon after the weaving is finished. The comfortable effect is due to the yarn being softened. As time goes on, the rug is dipped in water and dried in the sunlight.

Some of the benefits of this work of art are as follows:

1. Handwoven rugs add elegance to your home.
2. Maintain the grip of your feet on the floor.
3. Absorb noise.
4. Maintain the indoor warmth.
