Karastan Rugs have earned the highest rank among the best machine-made rugs ever made! Dating back to the 19th century, hand-made rugs were of great value; the intricate designs and the quality of rugs and carpets were unmatched. When machinery was used to manufacture the rugs, there was a huge difference in quality, texture and colour. However, when Karastan rugs came into business, they proved them all wrong.

Karastan Rugs was established in 1928, with their newest technology and brilliant innovations, they brought about a whole new meaning to machine manufactured rugs. Machine made rugs would not measure up against the quality and sophistication of the hand woven ones, but Karstan Rugs changed that completely.

What's the chaos about? Karastan rugs created a whole new 'mayhem' in the world of weaving. Yes, it was mayhem because it was hard to believe the quality and finish of the machined product. America was baffled, with regards to the cleverly innovated methods used to manufacture perfectly woven rugs, which endured harsh experiments to prove their durability. In fact, they were also called the 'mystery rugs'. When Karstan was finally marketed they demonstrated the vigour of their product and evidently earned the name 'Wonder rug of America'.

What so fantastic about Karastan Rugs? The technology behind Karastan Rugs is a fantastically devised power loom which could actually spin a fine-looking rug indistinguishable to the handmade finish. The procedure involves several steps with close monitoring to create a top quality finish.

The wool used in Karastan is exclusively imported from New Zealand, which is famous for its most premium quality of wool in the whole world. The special wool used for this particular brand is natural and safe even for asthmatics due to their dust absorbing properties. After the wool is scrupulously cleaned, the rug is woven by the power loom with a mix of soothing colours and artistic patterns.

The rug is the subject to a process called the 'Tea wash', this coats the rug with a subtle yellow dye which gives the rug the natural antique feel. Once this is done, it goes through a 'Lustre wash', giving the rug a soft shine. Another procedure is the 'Sultan's Slippers', which calms down the fibres for a natural handmade texture.

These 'Wonder rugs' are the most reliable and a top choice for rugs and carpets.
