Hand-Woven Viscose Rugs
When exploring hand-woven viscose rugs, it is essential to understand both the construction and the application. Hand-woven rugs are produced on traditional treadle looms where the artisan interlaces warp and weft yarns by hand — a technique that has been practiced in India for centuries. Hand-woven pieces tend to be flatter and lighter than knotted or tufted rugs, with a clean reversible structure and graphic, modern aesthetic.
Coupled with this, viscose — sometimes called "art silk" — gives you the lustrous sheen and fluid drape of real silk at a much more accessible price point. Made from regenerated cellulose fibres, viscose accepts dye beautifully and produces vivid, jewel-like colour palettes that suit contemporary interiors.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between hand-woven and flatweave?
All flatweaves are hand-woven, but not all hand-woven rugs are flatweaves. Some hand-woven pieces have a short pile produced by special loom techniques. The category is broader than "flatweave" alone.
Are hand-woven rugs durable?
Yes — because they have no glue or backing, hand-woven rugs are very long-lived. They're also reversible, so you can flip them periodically to even out wear.
Is viscose the same as bamboo silk?
Bamboo silk is a type of viscose made specifically from bamboo cellulose. It has a slightly silkier hand-feel and is more eco-friendly than standard wood-pulp viscose. We offer both.
Can viscose rugs be steam-cleaned?
No — viscose is moisture-sensitive and can develop water marks if over-wetted. Always use professional dry cleaning or low-moisture extraction for viscose rugs.
