Certified organic rugs are rugs made with natural materials that pass a third party certification process to verify that they do not contain toxic materials.
Organic Weave rugs are certified organic by GOTS. (Global Organic Textile Standard)
Our certification is a promise that we:
Source raw materials from traceable, certified organic producers
Clean or scour raw materials using biodegradable cleansing agents
Use water in a sustainable way throughout processing
Use no synthetic agents or oils in our spinning process
Dye our yarn using Global Organic Textile Standard approved dye stuffs
Finish our rugs with no harmful chemicals or detergents
While “natural fiber” rugs are readily available, the way they
are marketed can be misleading: though they are called “natural,” there
is no guarantee that they are free of harmful chemicals. You may think
that buying a wool or cotton rug means that the rug is all natural.
However, the raw materials in conventional rugs are processed with
chemicals and the yarn in the rugs is most often dyed with chemicals.
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the most comprehensive,
internationally recognized standard in the textile industry today. It
only certifies textile products that are made of at least 70% organic
fibers, in which case the label will say ‘made with organic’. But if the
label says ‘organic’, like on our products, it means that at least 95% of the product is organic.
Our entire production process is monitored – from the first
cultivation of our fibers, to the final dyeing and washing stages of our
process. Only non toxic materials are allowed by GOTS. Our
certification is a promise that we:
Source raw materials from traceable, certified organic producers
Clean or scour raw materials using biodegradable cleansing agents
Use water in a sustainable way throughout processing
Use no synthetic agents or oils in our spinning process
Dye our yarn using Global Organic Textile Standard approved dye stuffs
Finish our rugs with no harmful chemicals or detergents
Our rugs are free of harmful chemicals and non toxic.
Our rugs are certified organic by GOTS, The Global Organic Textile Standard. This means that our entire process is certified (in addition to using organic raw materials).
Although our rugs and carpets may be suitable for the individuals with
chemical sensitivities, Organic Weave does not guarantee that our
clients will not react to our products. No guarantee or warranty is
offered by Organic Weave with regard to our rugs and carpets and the
effects they may have on an individual or their environment.
INDIA, home to a 500 year old tradition of weaving rugs by hand. Our artisans earn a living wage, and our rugs are certified free of illegal child labor.
The floor is often considered the fifth wall of
the room. Choosing the right sized rug often means sizing up. The right
sized rug will define the seating area, make your room look larger and
anchor the furniture in your space.
Here are some tips for selecting the perfect size rug:
Living Room -
9 x 12 or 10 x 14
Choose the size based on your room size, leaving a perimeter of 18" to 24" of hardwood or ceramic showing.
8 x 10 or 9 x 12
Choose a rug on which all of the front legs of the furniture will rest on the rug.
Dining Room -
8 x 10 or 9 x 12
Choose a rug
size based on the size of your table and chairs. You'll want a rug large
enough that you can pull the chairs away from the dining table and have
the chairs STAY ON THE RUG - add 24" to the table dimensions for the
rug size.
Bedroom -
8 x 10 or 9 x 12 (Queen Bed)
Choose a rug that will act as a focal point in the room and provide a soft landing spot for your feet to land.
9 x 12 or 10 x 14 (King Bed)
Choose a rug that will act as a focal point in the room and provide a soft landing spot for your feet to land.
Child's Room -
5 x 7 or 6 x 9 (Twin Bed)
A smaller rug will be a focal point in the room, and give a soft area for your child to play on.
Child's Room -
8 x 10 or 9 x 12 or 10 x 14
Choose a larger rug if you wish all of the furniture to rest on the rug.
Nursery -
5 x 7 or 6 x 9
Consider that your baby
will be crawling and playing on the rug, and provide a soft surface for
those tiny toes and feet and falls! A larger rug will provide more space
for play.
8 x 10 or larger
Consider that your
baby will be crawling and playing on the rug, and provide a soft surface
for those tiny toes and feet and falls! A larger rug will provide more
space for play.

Our rugs are made by hand, by skilled artisans in rural India.
Our Dyes
Organic Weave uses dyes and
mordants, which are approved by the Global Organic Textile Standard.
These dyes are a healthy alternative to chemically-produced dyes used in
conventional rugs.
Organic Weave’s organic dyes give a beautiful patina effect
and become sun-bleached over time. Our plant-based dyes vary from one
batch to another, so there can be some some variance between the target
color and the actual color. These minor variations are what give each
of our rugs its unique character.
Handknotted Rugs
Knotting rugs by hand is an ancient art. Depending on the technique and
size of the rug, a handknotted rug may take weeks, months, or even years
to complete.
To begin making a rug, our skilled weavers make a foundation – called
“the warp” – which consists of thick threads of cotton, wool, or silk
which run through the length of the rug. Similar threads, which pass
under and over the warp threads in the opposite direction, are called
wefts.
Weaving usually begins from the bottom of the loom. Dyed wool,
cotton, or silk is knotted in rows around the warp strands. As more
knots are added to this foundation, they become the pile of the rug.
Depending upon the fineness of the weave, the quality of the materials,
and the expertise of the weavers, the knot count of a handknotted rug can
range from sixteen to eight-hundred per square inch.
When a rug is completely knotted, the warp ends remain as the fringe.
This fringe may be braided, tasseled, or secured in other ways.
Handtufted Rugs
Our handtufted rugs are made by punching strands of wool or cotton
into an organic cotton canvas which is stretched on a frame. Skilled
weavers “tuft” using a hand-operated “tufting-gun.”
Once the weaver has tufted the pattern onto the canvas, another
fabric (the secondary backing) is attached to the back of the rug. The
secondary backing is made from 100% organic cotton and is attached with a GOTS approved latex glue, which is non-toxic and does not off gas.
Flatweave Rugs
Flatweave rugs are made by hand without a “pile.” Some common names for flatweave include kelim, dhurrie, and tapestry.
Flatweave rugs are woven by skilled artisans on a horizontal or a vertical loom by
threading cotton, wool, or silk through the warp. They may either have a
fringe or a folded edge.
Wall to Wall Carpeting
Our wall to wall carpeting is handtufted in 100% organic wool. The
surface wool pile is locked in place with a secondary backing of
certified organic cotton.
Our handtufted rugs are made by punching strands of wool or cotton
into an organic cotton canvas which is stretched on a frame. Skilled
weavers “tuft” using a hand-operated “tufting-gun.”
