Quality of Wool Carpets

The Fine Merino ( New Zealand ) wool carpets have a reputation of being the sturdiest (in its category) carpets that have been produced for over 4 centuries. The Merino wool, being as soft and fine as silk gives a luster that is unsurpassable and its inherent characteristic trait of robustness makes this one of the most overriding choice in weaving high quality of carpets. The wool being a naturally resilient material provides great sturdiness to the pile and when combined with superb workmanship, this makes it the best-ever range of hand-made carpets in its category. Finally due to the specific requirement related to the usage of such carpets we are particularly creating them in double knots, double weft grade that adds more pile and extra thickness giving a plush feel to the overall richness of the carpet.

One of the most important and determining factors in the quality of carpets that also affects the durability, workmanship and also the price is considered to be the knots (or stitches) that are present in per square inch of any given carpet. The durability of the carpet increases manifold corresponding with the increase in the density of the knots per square inch in the carpet, as it is an established fact, that more the number of knots per square inch denotes more life for the carpet that in turn gives luster, shine and intricate design to the overall pattern or the motif of the carpet.

Wool carpets, in general, have varying number of knots per square inch and come in different types of qualities and designs. Our range of exclusive wool/silk carpets has more than 324 knots per square inch going up to even 484 per square inch (more than 244 knots per square inch is typically considered to be the beginning yardstick for the top end quality) and thus have a longer life and splendidly intricate designs and motif. Of course, besides the knots benchmark that is largely followed, the price of a given carpet may also be charged based on the intricacy of the design or the pattern, the uniqueness and the individualism of the motif, the perfection attained in color matching and occasionally for the brand name (royalty that is payable) lent by the artisan who has conceived the original motif of a particular carpet.

The colors (dyes) of all these carpets are fast as we are using imported SWISS chrome dyes that prevent bleeding or running of the dyes while washing, spot-cleaning and dry-cleaning the carpets. All our carpets are fundamentally treated with anti-fungus, moth, etc. procedures and are thus, entirely moth-proof too. The life expectancy* of our carpets is estimated as 70 - 80 years making them virtually a lifetime purchase.

* Conditional - This is subjective and is based on the wear and tear, traffic density and local climatic conditions and most importantly on the Care & Maintenance conducted on the carpet. Our company does provide individual guarantee for all our products, however, it is valid only for the first purchaser or until the carpet is retained by him or her.
