Quality starts with the attentive selection of raw materials: at Illulian we use only Himalayan wool of chenylok sheep and either a mix of our own creation of natural silks or pure cocoon silk according to clients preferences.

Raw materials need to be transformed into yarns in order to be used to make rugs. Single strings are then hand-spun together to create a resistant yarn which will be used later on by knotting masters. Final and yet complex step is the dyeing. All our dyes come from vegetal and mineral sources with respect for local natural environment.

By using an handmade reproduction scale 1:1 drawn on paper, our knotting masters transform the fibers in pure art. Different artisans have different strenghts so when they finish to weave a fundamental passage is the stretching so to make the rug uniform.

Finally your unique piece is washed and left to dry under the sun. Once dry, our artisans proceed with last touches like the leveling of pile heights and carving. By using special scissors craftmen transform the rug in a beautiful and elegant artwork by engraving the surface with theirs skillfull hands.
