On-Site Quality Checks & Testing We Conduct
We do not rely on factory self-declarations. Every shipment undergoes standardized technical verifications before dispatch:
Knots Per Square Inch (KPSI) Counting
Physical counting of warp and weft knot densities on the back of hand-knotted rugs to ensure strict adherence to specification.
Pile Height & Shearing Uniformity
Measuring pile height with digital depth gauges across center and edges to ensure smooth, ridge-free pile surfaces.
Crocking & Colorfastness Testing
AATCC rub testing on wet and dry pile to eliminate color bleeding between contrasting wool shades during domestic cleaning.
Backing Latex Adhesion & Odor Checks
Verifying tuft-bind strength (>5 lbs pull force) and testing for foul odor or chemical off-gassing from vulcanizing ovens.
Waterproof Export Baling & Desiccant Wrapping
Sealing carpets in heavy-duty polyethylene sleeves with heat-sealed seams and multi-layer tarpaulin outer bags to prevent dampness during maritime voyages.
Frequently Asked Questions About Sourcing in Bhadohi
What is the difference between hand-knotted and hand-tufted rugs in Bhadohi?
Hand-knotted rugs are tied node-by-node by weavers on vertical looms without glue, taking months to complete and lasting for generations. Hand-tufted rugs use a handheld tufting gun to punch yarn into a canvas mesh, secured with latex glue on the back for rapid, cost-effective production.
How do you ensure no child labor is used in Bhadohi weaving clusters?
We perform unannounced on-site loom audits and partner exclusively with manufacturers certified by GoodWeave, Care & Fair, or SA8000. Every loom location is verified and registered.
What is the standard production timeline for custom rug orders in Bhadohi?
Hand-tufted rugs typically take 4 to 6 weeks. Hand-knotted rugs take 10 to 16 weeks depending on knot count and size. We provide weekly loom progress photos so you can monitor weaving in real time.
