Barbara Jacobs'

Eco Hues & Silk Road Weaves Rugs

This new line of hand knotted Tibetan rugs designed by Barbara Jacobs consists of varied collections of rugs, hand knotted in Nepal by a company that holds the highest standard of worker care and employs no children.

Barbara weaves her philosophy of supportive color design throughout the line that she describes as "vision + artistry, a truly sensory experience." The luminous colors and the tactile dimensions derive from color and fiber selections combined with traditional weaving methods.

Silk Road Weaves™ area rugs have a contemporary look, while making great design sense even when used in traditional or mixed-style décor or when used together in adjacent rooms. All rugs from Silk Road Weaves™ are original designs by Barbara Jacobs, and are entirely hand made in Nepal every step of the way from collecting the raw wool to hand knotting in the more technically complex, and more durable, traditional Tibetan "cross-weaving" method. The basis of the rugs is the renowned lanolin-rich, long fiber wool from sheep living in the high mountain ranges of Tibet. Each Silk Road Weaves™ rug is individually labeled, certified Rugmark Made. These are works of art that the owners can expect to become heirlooms.
