The journal — read like a chart
Guides from the atelier
Everything we wish buyers knew before commissioning — written plainly, from the loom's side of the conversation. No mystique, no salesmanship; flip-the-corner honesty.
Row 01 · The craft
Hand-knotted vs hand-tufted: an honest guide
Construction, lifespan, cost, and the thirty-second showroom test that tells them apart.
Row 02 · The investmentWhat a custom rug really costs
The three levers of price, honest market ranges, and the cost-per-year math of an heirloom.
Row 03 · The resolutionKnot density explained: 60 vs 80 vs 100 vs 150
What knots per square inch buys you, why higher isn't always better, and how to count them yourself.
Row 04 · The fibersThe materials: wool, silk, bamboo silk & hemp
How each fiber behaves in light and underfoot, pot dyeing, abrash, and simple care.
