We dye our rugs in using various techniques such as vegetable, hand, space and tie-dyeing each influencing the final aesthetic.
1. Vegetable Dyeing: Utilizes natural sources like plants, roots, and fruits to create earthy tones. This eco-friendly method often results in subtle, harmonious colors.
2. Synthetic Dyeing: Involves chemical dyes, offering a broader color spectrum and consistency. This method provides vibrant and long-lasting hues, commonly used in contemporary rug production.
3. Hand Dyeing: Individual strands or sections are dyed by hand, allowing for intricate patterns and nuanced color variations. This method is often employed in artisanal, hand-knotted rugs.
4. Space Dyeing: Yarn is dyed in various sections, creating a variegated or striped effect. This technique adds depth and visual interest to the rug’s design.
5. Tie-Dyeing: Sections of the rug are tied or bound before dyeing, creating patterns where the dye penetrates differently. This method often results in irregular, artistic designs.
Understanding these dyeing techniques provides insight into the diverse possibilities in rug design, catering to different tastes and preferences.
