They then strip away the fibers and boil them. Fibers are given a rinse and soaked for about two weeks. Materials are then allowed to dry before hand spinning in the fibers together.

Additional processing involves removing extraneous fiber by briefly scorching the rug with a flame before washing, largely using captured rainwater to remove surface dirt and excess dye as well as to loosen and straighten pile and give it a characteristic finish. Chemical washing helps to moth proof the materials and gives a patina or specific finish while toning down colors. Our in house washing division uses compounds non-allergic to human skin. once washed and dried, the rugs are mechanically stretched to straighten the sides while edge are bound.
