Hand knotted in the 9 by 25 quality at 60 knots to the square inch, woven in fine Indian wool. Gallery pieces are made at 140 by 200 cm.
Hand knotted in the 10 by 42 quality at 100 knots to the square inch, the densest count in the range. Fine Indian wool holds the close pattern work of this quality.
Rugs made on the loom with a knotted pile, listed in the gallery as the loom knotted range. Wool is the main yarn, spun and dyed in house before weaving.
Flat woven dhurries made by hand without a pile, carried as a separate gallery range. Spinning, dyeing, weaving and finishing are all handled in house.
Hand knotted rugs in a Moroccan design line, listed as its own range in the gallery. Woven in wool at the Carpet City unit in Bhadohi.
Carpets woven in jute, carried in the gallery beside the wool ranges. Weaving and finishing run at the same Bhadohi unit as the knotted lines.
Handwoven jute in black and white, made at 160 by 230 centimetres. The flatwoven construction leaves no pile, so the jute yarn itself carries the pattern.
Hand knotted in semi worsted wool, ivory with dark slate grey, at 160 by 230 centimetres. Knotted on the loom rather than tufted, so the structure is the weave itself.
