The art of handloom is a slow creation process involving two artisans and a handloom, where each thread must be placed one by one without the use of electricity and then meticulously woven into the fabric or rug. These artisans are not just artisans; they are custodians of a centuriesold tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation. The handloom technique can take days, depending on the size of the piece. You hold a unique piece in your hands.
All Lorena Canals pieces are handcrafted one by one by our artisans in India using ancestral crafting techniques. If you own one of our signature rugs for your home, you'll know it is a one-of-a-kind piece.
The handloom technique is a heritage weaving method where artisans manually operate a loom to create textiles. This ancient craft involves carefully setting up the warp threads, preparing the weft, and skillfully interlacing them to form patterns and textures. Unlike automated weaving, handloom weaving allows for greater artistic control, preserving ancestral knowledge and ensuring unique, high-quality rugs and fabrics.
Handloom rugs are not machine washable but can be professionally cleaned. To keep your rug in top condition, we recommend vacuuming weekly or as needed. If the rug gets dirty, use a clean, dry white cloth or towel immediately. For spot cleaning, use a gentle, dye-free detergent solution mixed with cold water. Rinse and dry quickly.
The time required to weave a handloom rug depends on its size, design complexity, and the artisan's expertise. On average, it can take several days to a couple of weeks to complete a single rug, ensuring the highest quality and craftsmanship.
