Four constructions. Six fibres. One factory floor.
The craft side of PiHue — how yarn becomes rug, how colour is proven, and why buyers keep coming back to Bhadohi for handmade work.
Four ways we make a rug
Hand-knotted
- 100–400 KPSI
- 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.

Six fibres, six stories
Every fibre we weave has a story — and an audit trail.
Wool
- RWS certified
The fibre most rugs are born from — from audited farms to spun, dyed yarn.

Silk
- Mulberry silk
Reeled from the cocoon, knotted into highlights.

Cotton
- The warp
Every handmade rug's hidden foundation.

Jute
- Carbon-absorbing crop
The golden fibre — rain-fed, biodegradable, woven at volume.

Linen
- Flax fibre
Flax retted, scutched and spun into a cool, dry-handed yarn.

Bamboo silk
- Plant-based sheen
The sheen of silk from a fast-renewing grass.

Rug dyeing
- Pantone & ARS 1400
Yarn dyed in-house, matched via lab dips, approved before a knot is tied.

Washing & finishing
- Wash · shear · bind
Water opens the pile, shearing levels it, binding seals the edges.

Rug materials
- Wool, silk, cotton, jute, linen, bamboo silk
The hub for all six fibres and how each behaves in a rug.

- GI-tagged cluster
