Rug repair is craft work. It can't be rushed and it can't be automated. A weaver looks at a hole, matches the wool, recreates the original knot pattern, and fills it back in one knot at a time — sometimes for days, sometimes for weeks, depending on the size and complexity. The goal is always the same: invisible from the front, structurally sound from the back.
Knot-by-knot reconstruction of holes, worn areas, and missing pile. Wool, dye, and knot type are matched to the original. Done correctly, you cannot find the repair without flipping the rug over and looking for it.
The edges of a rug are where damage starts. Binding (cloth tape sewn over the edge) and serging (overcasting yarn) restore frayed edges and prevent further unraveling. Choice depends on the rug's construction.
For rugs with split foundations, broken selvedges, or torn ends. We rebuild the structural threads first, then re-stitch the surface so the rug regains its original shape and tension.
Sun fading, bleach spots, and color loss can be hand-corrected with carefully matched dyes — applied fiber-by-fiber so the result blends with surrounding pile.
For larger holes or burn damage, we can graft a section from an unseen part of the rug (or a donor rug) into the damaged area. Less common than reweaving, but the right choice in specific cases.
"Most rugs are worth fixing. The ones that aren't, we'll tell you. We'd rather be honest about a rug than charge you for a repair that won't pay back."
