Fun Facts about Karastan

• The original power loom was developed in the early 1900s, by a New England inventor named Eugene Clark in Leaksville (now Eden), North Carolina. This loom is still used today and was the first of its kind.
• To recreate the beauty and richness of an Oriental rug, Clark and his staff not only created a soft hand knotted visual, they also created dyes that would not fade and that could withstand a special chlorinated wash.
• Karastan Axminster Woven Rugs are Hand Crafted Machine Made Rugs. Operators hand thread reeds so that the ends will be in the correct position to wind the spools. It takes 1440 spools to make a set of 9x12 rugs; it takes about 7 days to complete.
• To prove the lasting quality of Karastan rugs, Karastan wear tested the multi-color Panel Kirman at the 1933-34 Chicago World's Fair. An electronic eye clocked more than 5 million visitors walking across the rug during the fair. Afterwards, the rug was taken to the Karastan mill in Eden, North Carolina, where only half the rug was washed. One side remained almost unrecognizable, while the washed portion returned the rug to its original beauty of 50 skein-dyed colors.
