100% Hand Tufted

Depending on the technique and size of the rug, an artisan can spend weeks or months to finish a rug. All Hand-knotted rugs are by far the most intricate and labor intensive process. An experienced weaver can tie an average of 8,000-10,000 knots per day, with bigger rugs requiring up to several weavers working together on one rug at the same time. This ancient and time-honored technique is extremely time-consuming, demanding great expertise and precision that takes years of practice.

Meet the Designer

In addition to designing new collections and exhibition pieces, Urd is also involved in other visual aspects, including creative input to photo shoots, website layout and catalogue.

Care and Maintenance

Regular cleaning by vacuuming. Vacuum in the direction of the rug’s pile, but not with the brushes in the “out position”. To be washed flat by a professional carpet cleaner. Most new rugs “shed” and this is very normal. Excess pile should be removed from the rug as it appears. We recommend underlay to avoid discoloration.
