Tibetan carpet making is an ancient, traditional craft. Tibetans use carpet for many purposes ranging from flooring to wall hanging to horse saddles, though the most common use is as a seating carpet. A typical sleeping carpet measuring around 3ftx5ft (0.9m x 1.6m) is called a khaden.
Carpet is basically used for ground furnishing. The carpets are of 60% with knot, 80% knot, 100% knot. We deliver high quality carpets. All the carpets we have are all handmade, environment friendly, fashionable and rich for home decor or ground furnishing.
In Tibet, people make carpet basically for comfort and warmth.
The Tibetan knotted carpets were normally made from highland’s
cheep wool but Tibetan nomads would also use goat and Yak hair.
The Tibetan carpet has its origins in their unique style. The
carpet designs are largely symbolic rather than purely decorative and the colors
used were those which were considered to be both elegant and of good taste. This
quality that gave rise to the legend of the symbolic magic carpet!
Pure highland’s cheep wool carpet is cool to the touch and
this gave the Tibetan carpet a further 'magical' and special quality.
Carpet weaving is performed by hand using graphs & sketches. The carpet weaving is a creative task which is performed by three or four laborers according to the size of carpet. Carpet weaving is done with the help of yarn balls, scissors, iron-rod, levers, comb beater, etc. This process involves skills and craftsmanship.
