Our rugs are primarily made from Himalayan sheep wool and silk sourced from Tibet, New Zealand, China and India.
Raw wool is combed by hand to separate and mix it together, preventing clumps and preparing it for the next step.
Chakras, also known as hand wheels, are used to spin raw wool and transform it into fine yarns.
Rug Design
We are skilled at creating designs with Galaincha - a powerful rug design software. Our talented designers create visualizations of the rugs so you can see them before they are made. Once the designs are approved, sample and rug orders can be placed accordingly.
Dyeing
Rainbow Collection Nepal is one of the few rug manufacturers that has an in house dyeing facility. We go the extra step to ensure that only high quality Swiss dyes are used in our rugs which produce delightful colors and are free from harmful chemicals.
Weaving
Our rugs are woven on large looms that can easily be set to accommodate custom shapes and sizes. Cotton threads are vertically warped around each loom which provides for the strong foundation of our rugs. Once the loom is ready, yarns are knotted around each cotton thread stretched horizontally and vertically across frames.
After the rug is woven and brought off loom, our weavers use a sharp needle-like instrument to poke through the reverse side of the rug. This evens the back of the rug and prevents any yarns from protruding. Similarly, the front is trimmed with cutting machines to provide a proportionate level to its surface. Patterns are also carved with scissors by our expert artisans which makes them more prominent and visually attractive.
Washing
Rainbow Collection Nepal has an in house washing plant that facilitates all our cleaning processes.
We ensure that our rugs are washed thoroughly in an eco-friendly manner…
…with natural soap and spring water thereby making it not only safe but also providing a natural shine to our rugs.
Our facility is also equipped to collect, filter and store rain water to reuse it during dry seasons.
Dry & Stretch
One of the best and most traditional methods for drying rugs is by letting them air dry naturally in the sun. This age-old technique harnesses the power of nature, allowing the warmth and gentle breeze of the sunlight to work their magic on the fibers of the rug. By laying the rug out in an open area, we create the perfect environment for the rug to dry efficiently and effectively. As the sun's rays caress the rug, the moisture trapped within the fibers slowly evaporates, leaving behind a fresh and clean surface. This process not only helps to remove any lingering odors or dampness, but it also helps to preserve the natural colors and textures of the rug, ensuring its longevity and beauty for years to come.
The process of stretching dried rugs involves delicately placing them onto looms, where our expert artisans carefully align each size and corner. Not only does this intricate technique restore the rugs to their desired sizes, but it also revives their distinctive shapes.
With a keen eye for precision, our skilled craftsmen carefully manipulate the loom, coaxing the textile fibers back into place. Each gentle tug and adjustment serves as a testament to the dedication and artistry required to revive our exquisite rugs, allowing them to grace homes with their timeless beauty.
