Process of weaving a handmade rug by our artisans
1- Wool selection:
The quality of the wool has a huge impact on the quality and durability of a rug. At ORGUENDA UNIVERSE, we use the highest quality 100% natural wool from sheep raised in the Atlas Mountains. This raw wool undergoes a deep cleaning to remove all impurities and grease. It is dried in the sun and then carded, combed, stretched and twisted by hand. This process allows for stronger, smoother and longer strands.
2- Wool dyeing:
This is the stage where the wool threads are dyed. At ORGUENDA UNIVERSE, we prioritize natural dyes based on flowers, plants or other organic elements.
3- Weaving
The wool yarn is then used to weave the rug on a loom. It is at this stage that the patterns and designs are created. Once the rug is woven and to give it its final texture, it goes through the final finishing stages which are brushing, shaving and fringe treatment. ORGUENDA UNIVERSE ensures that the carpet is washed again with special products suitable for wool to have a smoother appearance.
