For larger holes or burn damage where reweaving is not economical — a graft from an unseen part of the rug or a donor rug.
A section is cut from a low-visibility area of the same rug (an edge that will be trimmed and serged) or from a donor rug of similar age and construction. The patch is fitted exactly to the damaged opening, secured to the foundation, and finished from the front.
When the damage is too large or too geometrically simple to reweave economically. Often the right call for solid-field rugs, where the missing pattern is uniform and a clean graft is undetectable.
Highly patterned or rare rugs deserve the time of a reweave. We choose the method that is right for the rug, not the one that is fastest. We will explain the trade-offs before you decide.
