Master weaver at the loom — City Walk Rugs
Manufacturing

From yarn to doorstep.

The full journey

Nine stages,
hand by hand.

Every rug that leaves our workshop moves through the same nine checkpoints — from hand-selected yarn to boxed, bar-coded, and ready to ship.

01
Yarn Selection
Fibres are sourced from trusted mills in New Zealand, Kashmir, and highland India — graded by staple length and micron.
02
Dyeing
Small-batch dyed in copper vats — vegetable and mineral dyes for archival pieces, controlled synthetic dyes for consistency across commercial orders.
03
Weaving Preparation
Warp yarns are strung on the loom by hand; the design is transcribed onto a knot-by-knot cartoon.
04
Hand-Knotting / Hand-Tufting / Handloom
The chosen technique is executed by master weavers. A 9x12 hand-knotted rug can take 9–14 months.
05
Washing
The finished rug is washed multiple times with mild vegetable-based soaps to soften the pile and set the colours.
06
Stretching
The rug is stretched on a wooden frame to true up shape and fringe alignment.
07
Finishing
Hand-carved detailing, binding, and fringe treatment. Loose threads are trimmed by hand.
08
Quality Control
Every rug is inspected for knot count, colour fastness, dimensions, and finish before it leaves the workshop.
09
Packing & Dispatch
Rolled, wrapped in breathable cotton, and boxed for international sea or air freight.
