Materials library
Rug materials developed around your construction, design and project.
Explore the fibre and material directions available for custom handmade rug development from Fine Rugs Creation in Bhadohi, India.
Material selection starts with the construction and end use
Material affects colour depth, sheen, texture, pile response, handle and the overall character of a handmade rug. We do not treat the fibre list as a one-size-fits-all catalogue. During development, the material direction is matched to the selected construction, artwork, intended use, target quality and budget, then confirmed through physical sampling where appropriate.
32 material directions are currently available for development. Final suitability, blend ratios and technical construction are confirmed against the project brief and sample.
Wool & animal fibres
New Zealand Wool
A widely used premium wool direction for handmade rugs where clean colour and resilient pile character are important.
Indian Wool
A versatile natural wool option for textured, handcrafted surfaces and project-specific quality development.
Merino Wool
A finer wool direction considered when a softer, more refined hand is required.
Alpaca, Cashmere, Mohair & Camel Hair
Specialty animal-fibre directions that can be explored for selected developments where their particular hand or visual character suits the design.
Natural plant fibres
Plant-based fibres can introduce crispness, dry texture, structure or a lighter woven character depending on the construction.
- Cotton
- Organic Cotton
- Jute
- Hemp
- Sisal
- Seagrass
- Coir (Coconut Fiber)
- Linen
- Flax

Luxury & regenerated fibres
Natural Silk
Used when fine detail, lustre and a more luxurious surface expression are central to the design.
Bamboo Silk
A lustrous fibre direction for reflective highlights and smooth-feeling surface areas.
Viscose
Useful for sheen, tonal movement and contrast when specified in a suitable construction.
Tencel (Lyocell)
A regenerated fibre direction that can be explored for selected smooth, lustrous developments.
Recycled, synthetic & specialty materials
Recycled materials
Recycled PET Yarn, Recycled Polyester (rPET), Recycled Cotton and Recycled Wool are available as development directions, subject to the required construction and specification.
Synthetic fibres
Acrylic, Polyester, Nylon and Polypropylene (Olefin) can be considered where the project brief calls for their specific appearance or practical characteristics.
Leather
Leather is available for specialty and mixed-technique developments, including structured woven or patchwork-inspired surface directions.
