Handwoven Jute & Cotton Charcoal Rug

Home Therapy brings to you this spectacular jute and cotton rug, handwoven to utter perfection by proficient craftspeople in North India. It takes anywhere between a few days to several months to create one such textured rug! The creation process may be unhurried as compared to its machine-made equivalent; however, the final product bears that unique artisanal punch of exclusivity! First, a master craftsman creates a blueprint of the design, indicating the colors and layout of the proposed rug. Handweaving is a craft to reckon with as it requires meticulous rhythm and coordination and often, bare feet to judge the yarn. Contributing to 95% of the world's handwoven fabrics, manual looms are an indispensable part of India and employ 4.4 million families across the subcontinent. Offerings made with jute are known to be extremely durable and strong. A favorite among environmentalists, jute has a very low carbon footprint. It is also biodegradable and 100% compostable. Minimal design along with a charcoal color palette give this rug an urbane aesthetic, making it an exemplary pick for contemporary living spaces
