Continued from Page 30 strong, lustrous and rich with lanolin which gives the wool the natural protection that scotchguarding stimulates. The first step in rug production begins with shearing the wool off the sheep. The wool is oily and rich in lanolin and the cut fleece must be washed or scoured. Because Tibetan wool contains shades of brown, black and countless shades of white it must also be sorted by hand into the different colors and is imperfect at best. White wool is the most desirous because it can be dyed in various colors. The first step in creating yarn is called carding. A handful of wool is placed between two metal-toothed brushes and gently combed until the fibers are roughly aligned. Doing this process by machine would comb the wool in the blink of an eye, but would break the fibers and make the yarn too uniform. Carding makes the yarn clean, fluffy and ready for spinning. This process requires a massive human effort. The second step is to spin the wool. In homes and small village compounds in Nepal, weavers sit at simple, foot powered wooden wheels carefully guiding the spinning process with a practiced hand, steady foot and eye. Spinning of the wool results in a rich, organic texture in the yarn. Dying the wool is the next stage in rug production and the majority of Tibetan rugs are dyed with Swiss chromium dyes in small lots by hand. These synthetic dyes enable color consistency, are light fast, do not run in the washing, do not corrode the wool and produce an enormous range of colors that is continually evolving. They allow for the subtle striation of color that is a prized characteristic of Tibetan rugs. Today, rug manufacturers have access to a far greater range of colors than did ancient rug makers. Some Tibetan rugs are also made with natural, vegetable dyes which are highly desirable. Labor intensive to produce, natural dyes derive from vegetable, plant vegetation and minerals. The most common source of reds comes from dried Tibetan Rug Weaving ground madder root. Madder is a plant material that grows wild in Anatolia and Iran.
