Every piece is woven by one family on a vertical loom, dyed with madder root, walnut hull and pomegranate rind, and sold with the name of its weaver.
Four pieces from the current season. Size in centimetres, density in knots per square decimetre (kn/dm²).
Three stages, each by hand, in the same order every time.
Sheep wool is spun by hand, then dyed in copper pots with madder, indigo and walnut.
One knot at a time on a vertical loom. A 2 × 3 metre piece holds more than a million knots.
Washed in running water and dried flat in the sun to set the colour and soften the pile.
By appointment in Zürich. We bring rugs to your home on approval for seven days.
