But curiosity of the craft and a narrative of touch, scent and sound played an important...

Weaving is a craft that has occupied humans for thousands of years. The concept is simple: two perpendicular rows of threads, the warp and the weft, are interlaced. This may be the most beautiful aspect of weaving. Simplicity is the key, and the results are timeless and durable. While the basic concept is simple, we have refined the technique. Step by step, over many decades, we have refined the art to create more exciting, advanced and unique rugs. Our woven rugs are mainly made of yarn that we make ourselves from the finest natural materials: wool, linen, or a combination of the two. The...

HAND TUFTED RUGS Tufting provides a multitude of possibilities in terms of patterns and forms. We can create any motif or shape that is desired or imagined. Our tufters, like our weavers, must possess a high level of craftsmanship at every stage of creating a hand tufted rug. Once the rug is tufted, we make sure it meets the high level of quality we demand. Short piles are sheared so that the pile is even and beautiful. On rugs with longer pile, tufts that are too long are trimmed by hand. This way we find the individual character in each rug. At Kasthall we’ve been tufting rugs since 1972...
