941 shades that hit Pantone identically — out of 2,400

Every PiHue dye code is pre-matched to the nearest Pantone TCX/TPG (plus Stuart Semple's Freetone palette) using CIEDE2000 ΔE — the industry-standard perceptual colour-difference formula used by Pantone itself and by textile dye labs. Below are 24 across the spectrum where the match is essentially perfect (ΔE < 2). Hover any tile for the Pantone; click to open the full library.

Build a 10-colour mood board and download the branded PDF — free. With CIEDE2000 matching against the Pantone + Freetone pool, 941 of our 2,400 dye codes land ΔE < 2 (essentially identical to the eye); another 1,410 sit at ΔE 2–5 (retail-acceptable). Browse, filter by family or ΔE band, share the palette URL with your team.

The story of one rug

Ninety days, a hundred hands

Every rug that leaves Bhadohi begins as raw fibre and a drawing. What happens in between is the part most people never see — five stages, under one roof.

  1. CAD 3D render of a rug in a room — artwork stage
    Day 1–15
    01 · The design

    A drawing becomes a map

    Your artwork is redrawn as a knot map — every square one knot, every colour a numbered yarn.

    • CAD → strike-off ~15 days
    How to send artwork →
  2. Freshly dyed wool hanks drying in the sun
    Day 10–25
    02 · The colour

    Yarn takes the dye

    Wool hanks are dyed and come out matched to your Pantone reference — proven first by a lab dip you approve in hand.

  3. Hand-knotted rug on the loom — a weaver tying wool knots Watch
    Day 25–115
    03 · The loom

    Knot by knot, row by row

    A 250 × 300 cm hand-knotted piece holds several hundred thousand knots — each one tied by a person.

    Day 115–120
    04 · The wash

    Water wakes the wool

    Washing opens the pile and brings up the lustre. Shearing levels the surface; binding seals the edges.

Constructions

Four ways we make a rug

Compare constructions

Hand-knotted

  • Knot by knot
  • Heirloom grade

Each knot tied by hand around the warp. The slowest construction and the most durable — pieces that outlast the rooms they furnish.

Hand-tufted

  • Rich pile
  • Design freedom

Yarn punched through stretched canvas, then latexed and backed. Detailed designs and deep pile at accessible lead times.

Handloom

  • Loom woven
  • Clean texture

Woven on traditional looms for even, refined surfaces — the workhorse construction for contemporary solid and textured programmes.

Flatweave

  • No pile
  • Reversible

Dhurries and kilims woven flat — light, durable, often reversible, and well suited to recycled-fibre programmes.

Samples, tailor-made

Dozens of weaves, colours and textures — laid out for your call.

Before any order runs on a loom we lay out physical samples — different pile heights, yarn blends, dye lots, carved reliefs — and let you approve what feels right in hand. Every sample is spec'd back to a production-ready construction, so what you pick is what ships.

  • CAD → first strike-off ~15 days
  • Lab dip on request

Fibres

Six fibres, six stories

Every fibre we weave has a story — and an audit trail.

All materials

Wool

  • RWS certified
  • NZ & Indian

From audited farms to carded, spun, dyed yarn — the fibre most rugs are born from, traceable from sheep to shipment.

A sheep in a field — the RWS wool story starts on the farm

Silk

  • Mulberry silk
  • Accent lustre

Reeled from the cocoon, thrown into thread, knotted into highlights that catch light the way wool never can.

Cotton

  • The warp
  • Every rug's skeleton

From plant to plied warp thread — the hidden foundation every handmade rug is built on.

Ivory flatweave rug with cotton fringe detail

Jute

  • Large-scale capability
  • Carbon-absorbing crop

The golden fibre — rain-fed, fast-growing, fully biodegradable. We weave it at volume.

Linen

  • Flax fibre
  • Dry, crisp hand

Flax retted, scutched and spun into a fibre with a cool touch and a quiet slub texture.

Olive and ivory herringbone linen flatweave with fringed edge

Bamboo silk

  • Plant-based sheen
  • Silk look, kinder price

Bamboo cellulose spun into a high-lustre yarn — the sheen of silk from a fast-renewing grass.

Signature installation

An 18-metre oval in a lobby — hand-tufted, hand-carved, hand-finished

Custom hospitality pieces at scale: peacock-motif fan pattern, carved by hand from a level pile, indigo and gold on a wool ground. This is what a private-label programme looks like when the room is a landmark.
