Every piece starts with the fibre itself — mohair from responsible South African and Lesotho farms, Namibian Karakul wool, a little New Zealand wool for texture, and upcycled polypropylene for our hardier outdoor rugs. From there, nothing is rushed or mechanised. Our spinners hand-spin the raw fleece on traditional wooden treadle wheels, judging weight and tension by feel. Everything is hand-dyed on site in small batches for rich, colour-fast tones, then hand-woven on our floor looms — some wide enough to weave a single rug over eight metres across. It's the same unhurried, traditional process that's been part of this family business from the start: not mass production, but pieces meant to last long enough to become heirlooms.
