The wool/silk blended carpets are one of the most optimum quality that are being produced in Kashmir at present and are thereby considered to be one of the most superior grade of carpets in the handmade category as these carpets have a combination of pure Merino (New Zealand) wool and pure natural silk. These carpets also have the highest knots per square inch and are regarded to be substantially durable because of the unique amalgamation of both fibers - Merino (New Zealand) wool & pure natural silk that are perfectly blended together to attain superior weave and added robustness. The wool being a naturally resilient material provides great sturdiness to the pile while silk provides finesse and sheen that creates matchless artistry in the emergence of the design and motif. These unsurpassed traits makes this grade of carpets amongst the finest ever made that combines the best qualities of both the natural fibers to present masterpieces that are as exceptional as this art. 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/Silk 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 400 knots per square inch going up to even 625 per square inch (more than 324 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.
