Every carpet woven over centuries has become more than just a backdrop; it has become the carrier of a culture and a story. Anatolia's deep-rooted weaving heritage has survived to this day in the hands of masters. At Borr Halı, we reinterpret this ancient tradition with modern lines. Every motif bears traces of the past, and every stitch carries an elegant narrative that touches the future.
BEGINNING
A Journey That Began with the Hand of Nature
Each hand-woven carpet is brought to life by nature's gifts. Humankind draws upon the purest resources of the earth, using the materials offered by the soil, plants, and animals to create this unique work.
The warmth you feel when you touch the ground is a reflection of nature's compassionate touch. Everything shaped by nature's generosity bears the traces of thousands of years of culture.
PREPARATION
Preparation of Yarns: Wool,
The Dance of Silk and Cashmere
In the first stage of carpet-making, silk, wool, and cashmere threads collected from nature are meticulously processed. The fleece is first cleaned, then carefully spun with a woven spool of wool to create durable carpet yarns.
The quality of the yarn determines the durability of the carpet. One of the most important factors in this process is the length of the fibers and the density of the twist. Yarns spun from longer fibers are both stronger and smoother.
NATURAL COLORS
Colors of Nature: The Secret of Colors
Hand-woven carpets are adorned with the colors of nature. The yarns are dyed using completely natural root dyes.
These dyes are derived from plant leaves, roots, tree bark, and even insects. Each color is like a treasure taken from nature and defies time. The patterns and colors on a rug not only add beauty to your home but also whisper stories from the past.
Motifs
Deep Meanings of Motifs: Transformation of Souls into Loops
Carpets are works of art not only visually but also spiritually. Each motif symbolizes a story or belief. Sometimes a tree of life is embroidered onto the carpet, while other times a pomegranate symbolizes abundance and fertility.
These motifs are one of the most important cultural legacies of hand-weaving, passed down from generation to generation. Looking at a carpet is like looking at a book about a society's past.
WEAVING
Patience Woven Stitch by Stitch: The Art of Weaving
The craftsman at the carpet loom patiently knits each stitch. Each knot, tightly woven between the threads, adds both durability and a unique identity to the carpet.
Hand-woven rugs are each composed of thousands of knots, each hand-knotted by the artist. A single rug can take months or even years to complete.
DETAIL
The Master's Final Touch: The Final Stages That Bring the Carpet to Life
At the end of the weaving process, the carpet undergoes final inspections by the master. Now, the carpet leaves his hands and takes its full form for the first time.
The carpet is shaved, excess fluff is removed, and the motifs become more distinct. With each weaving, the richness of the shapes and motifs becomes even more apparent.
FINAL PREPARATION
Washing the Carpet and Its Journey
After the carpet is finished, it's carefully washed using natural methods. The washing process not only ensures cleanliness but also helps the carpet retain its colors and make it more durable.
After being washed and dried, the carpet becomes ready for use and begins its journey to reach its owner.
