Jacquard Woven Recycled Cotton Rug

Home Therapy brings to you this fabulous rug featuring a beautiful pattern, making it a picture of sheer elegance and sophistication.  Made of recycled cotton, this offering celebrates sustainability and lends a striking contrast to contemporary spaces.  It has been jacquard-handwoven on a wooden loom to utter perfection by proficient craftspeople in North India.  It takes anywhere between a few days to a couple of weeks to create one such rug!  A Jacquard weave is one of the most complicated weaves there is.  This kind of weaving method often produces multiple, complex designs like a flower or a shape that gets beautifully woven in a repetitive succession.  In a Jacquard weave, every weft and warp of the yarn is varied.  That makes it harder for a handloom weaver to find the perfect rhythm to run the loom.  Identifying this problem, Joseph Mary Jacquard made a special loom attachment in 1804.  As a part of this, the patterns have to get fed to the loom in customized punch card form.  Then, the loom itself decides the weft and warp of every weave so that the weaver can focus on the loom.  The Jacquard weave is the technique behind producing stunning fabric patterns like brocade, damask, and matelass̩. The hardest of processes gives the most beautiful of results and the urbane color palette of this rug makes it an exemplary pick for contemporary living spaces
