THE PROCESS

The Process: From Loom to Home

At House of Weaves, we don’t just sell rugs. We offer a journey—a journey that begins long before the rug reaches your doorstep. It’s a journey steeped in craft, care, and culture. Every piece has been carefully chosen, meticulously crafted, and thoughtfully curated to bring you something that transcends mere decor.

Here’s how we bring each rug to life and into your home:

1. Sourcing: A Careful Selection

Our process begins with the sourcing of the finest, most authentic rugs from regions steeped in weaving tradition. We partner directly with artisans in Morocco, Turkey, and Anatolia, places known for their rich textile history and timeless craftsmanship. Every rug is handpicked for its quality, story, and cultural significance.

We work only with artisans who uphold traditional techniques—ensuring that every piece is a product of generations of knowledge passed down through families.

2. Crafting: The Hands Behind the Loom

Each rug is handwoven by artisans who have honed their craft over years, often decades. Using natural fibers, like wool and cotton, and hand-dyed yarns that reflect the rich colors of the earth, artisans weave each rug with meticulous attention to detail.

The weaving process is slow, intentional, and methodical. There are no machines, no shortcuts—just the rhythm of the loom and the flow of creativity. Each knot, each thread is an expression of skill, culture, and dedication.

3. Dyeing: The Colors of Tradition

Our rugs are dyed using natural, plant-based dyes or eco-friendly dyes to bring out the deep, vibrant colors found in the world around us. These dyes are sourced from plants, fruits, and minerals, creating rich hues that are unique to each piece.

The dyeing process is done by hand, ensuring that every rug tells a story through its colors. Whether it’s the deep reds of Moroccan earth, the soft blues of the Anatolian sky, or the warm oranges of the Mediterranean sunset, the colors of our rugs are as rich as the land they come from.

4. Quality Control: Ensuring Perfection

Once the weaving and dyeing are complete, the rug goes through an extensive quality control process. We inspect each piece for any imperfections, ensuring that it meets our standards for craftsmanship and authenticity.

We check for:

  • Even knots and color distribution

  • Durability of the fibers

  • Consistency in craftsmanship

Each rug is thoroughly cleaned and inspected before it leaves the artisan’s workshop, ensuring it is ready for its new home.

5. From Loom to Your Home

Once each rug has passed quality checks, it’s ready to make its way to you. Our team carefully packages each piece with attention to detail, ensuring it arrives at your home in perfect condition.

We provide you with clear, concise instructions on how to care for your rug, so it can continue to bring beauty to your space for years to come. We believe in sustainability—both in how the rugs are made and how they are cared for after they arrive.

6. The Story Continues

Each rug you purchase from House of Weaves carries with it a story—the story of the artisan who wove it, the traditions that shaped it, and the home where it now lives.

By choosing our rugs, you are not just adding beauty to your space; you are connecting to a legacy of craftsmanship, a community of artisans, and a movement of sustainable design.
