Our Weaving
Center
Garuda Woven Art rugs are made in Nepal at our
own weaving center located in a small, agricultural village outside
of the capital city
of
Kathmandu.
The dyeing, weaving and washing
are done on-site rather than being contracted out. This
ensures
control
over
the quality of the dyeing and weaving and the confidence that
no chemicals are used to wash or treat our rugs.
•••
We are committed to providing decent
living and working conditions for our employees. Child labor
is illegal in
Nepal and is strictly enforced. It not practiced at our weaving
center.

The
exceptional quality of our carpets is a result
of returning
to the basics. Rather than taking shortcuts or
using inferior materials, we search for and
use the highest
quality fibers:
- handcarded, handspun pure Tibetan
wool
- superior quality Chinese
silk
- the best unbleached
Nepalese Hemp
Tibetan wool is known for
its luster, strength and resiliency. Its high lanolin
content makes it very soft.
The hand-carding and hand-spinning process
is more costly and labor intensive, but
is less abrasive to the
wool; more of the natural oils (lanolin) are
retained and fewer fibers are broken.
As a result, the wool
has better texture and will wear better.
Rugs woven with Tibetan
wool only become more beautiful with time.
As the rugs are used and walked on, lanolin
is released and a soft sheen naturally develops.
Our goal is to make rugs that equal or surpass
the quality and integrity of the finest antique
carpets. |
