New Zealand Wool
Feels like: deep, springy warmth
The backbone of our weaving. Long-staple, naturally resilient, it releases dirt readily and softens for decades without thinning.
Bamboo Silk
Feels like: cool, liquid sheen
Carries light the way water does. We blend it into wool for passages that shimmer at dusk and settle by day.
Silk Blends
Feels like: fine, precise lustre
Reserved for the densest knotting, where detail matters most. A whisper of silk sharpens a pattern's voice.
Tencel
Feels like: soft, plant-born drape
A modern fibre with an old conscience: wood-pulp born, biodegradable, and gentler on the earth than any synthetic sheen.
Natural Jute
Feels like: honest, barefoot earth
The one material that hides nothing. You see the hand in it: every irregularity a signature, compostable at the end of a long life.
Organic Cotton
Feels like: quiet, steady ground
The warp beneath our dhurries: unglamorous, essential, holding everything together the way good foundations do.

The four makings
Hand-Knotted
Where heritage meets the present
Thousands of individual knots, each placed by hand. 100 to 200 hours in a single 8×10. Geometry that steadies, rhythm that soothes.
Hand-Tufted
Texture and play
High and low pile forming landscapes you feel before you see. Made for homes where life is textured, layered, happily imperfect.
Jute
The honesty of natural materials
One plant fibre, woven by practised hands. No silk, no pretence. Only material, craft, and quiet confidence.
Flatweave / Dhurrie
Simplicity in motion
Flat, reversible, honest in construction. Rooted in Rajasthani dhurrie tradition; made to move with life and layer easily.
The colour story
Natural fibres settle and soften over years. Rest on a tone to hear where it belongs.
"For rooms that gather people."
