Alchemy Rugs

Alchemy rugs: What are these?

There are rugs that are handwoven using the finest of silk, wool, or jute yarns, then there are ones that are machine-made, or tufted. However, there is a category of rugs that are made using scraps or waste materials of various fabrics, and which are known as alchemy rugs. The process of weaving or knotting alchemist rugs is just as unique as the final products are. In this case, weavers accumulate scrap fabrics- be it silk, jute, wool, and more, and start by recycling them.

After that, the weavers skillfully hand-paint the recycled yarn to use it as the raw material for the alchemy rugs. The painted yarn also serves as the design guide for weavers to knot them into full-scale rugs finally.
A lot of people are still unaware of alchemy rugs, but the best part is that they are usually very colorful, and more affordable compared to the other premium category products. When it comes to the durability and strength of these rugs, they are just as good as any other standard rugs, considering that these are hand-spun and hand-knotted rugs.

Besides, the fact that the yarn for these rugs is painted and then seasoned under the sun makes the base resistant and capable of handling heavy foot traffic.

The final products that you will find at The Rug Decor are shimmering rugs featuring both vibrant and muted colors, and unique patterns for all types of home décor, especially for contemporary abodes.
