Production flow

What are the procedures and time involved in the production?

• Aubusson rugs
  Yarn dyeing and matching (2-7 days)
  For ready designs, we have yarn samples for each color available.  When dyeing pots are available, yarns would be dyed according to the yarn samples.  Then we have professional staffs called color inspectors to inspect strictly the colors to see if they match.  If not, then re-dye them.  Once approved, then they would be used for the weaving.   As you may know, there would always be a minor difference for each dyeing which is allowed.
  
  Catching looms (0-30 days)
  This is a big concern affecting the delivery time.  Usually looms are occupied by orders or pieces to stock.  So we will have to wait for the ongoing weaving to complete and then reserve them for new orders or stocks.  The period of waiting can vary a lot due to the current weaving status.
  
  Weaving (1month - 2months)
  Once the rug is loomed on,  it only needs 1-2 months for the weaving. And all weavers would expect themselves to weave more to gain more salaries each day. Big pieces have more weavers to work on them.
  
  Finishing (2-7days)
  Once the rug is woven ready, they would be cut off the loom.  And there are still 3-5 procedures to do to finish the whole process.  As we can only treat piece by piece carefully,  each piece needs at least 2 days to get qualified to go to our stocks. When there are more to treat, then it would takes longer by turn.
   

• Aubusson tapestries
  It takes the same procedures as aubusson rugs do. Only it needs 2 days more to line each tapestry ready before shipment.
   

• Aubusson pillows & cushions
  It takes the same procedures as aubusson rugs do.  Only it takes 2-5 days more for the trimming, lining and etc.   As they are smaller, only 4-6 weeks would be enough for an order.
