After the wool is sheared by hand, it is washed gently in the Himalayan mountain streams to remove dirt and debris. Each fiber is dried by the sun, and ancient traditional techniques are used to hand-spin and dye the wool. Master weavers then handcraft each rug to create the quality pieces treasured by consumers around the world. Every Tibetan rug from Coles is truly a handcrafted piece of art for the floor.
