Bhadohi, India
Kailash Rug Industries makes handmade carpets and rugs at Khamaria in Bhadohi. It is a family run business of three generations, founded by Kailash Narain Baranwal, who has received central and state government awards including a lifetime achievement award. Its range covers hand knotted, hand tufted, Indo Nepal, flat weave, shaggy and handloom carpets, along with kids rugs and bespoke pieces made to order. The workshop weaves in cotton, wool, chenille, jute, leather, polyester and viscose, and serves clients in the United States, Europe, China and India.
Hand knotted carpets are tied knot by knot on the loom at the Khamaria workshop. They are made in the wool, cotton and viscose yarns the company lists across its ranges.
Hand tufted carpets are made by working yarn through a backing cloth and then shearing the pile level. The company produces them at Bhadohi alongside its knotted and handloom lines.
Indo Nepal carpets are a hand knotted quality made in the Tibetan weaving tradition. The company produces them at Bhadohi as one of its named carpet lines.
Flat weave rugs are woven without a pile, so the design is carried by the weave itself. They are made in the cotton, wool and jute the company works with.
Shaggy carpets are made with a long loose pile rather than a clipped one. The company lists them beside its hand tufted and handloom ranges.
Handloom carpets are woven on the loom in running lengths and cut to the size required. The company's handloom weaving draws on the same wool, jute, polyester and viscose yarns as the rest of its range.
