Methods
CYP TUFTING MADE IN THE USA
Davis and Davis uses a very unique machine to create your custom rug. This machine is named CYP (computer yarn placement). Our custom rug collection is tufted using this method and has been for many years. The CYP machine company is owned housed and developed by Davis and Davis. It employs a unique method of digitally placing yarns one yarn to one pixel as it tufts through the primary backing. The CYP aesthetic is akin to handmade in that the surface tufts appear random, not machined. The delivery for these products is more aggressive than hand tufted and hand knotted. We offer two yarns (wool and Halo art silk) and five finishes in this method. Any design in the Davis design book can be made using the CYP tufting method.
HAND TUFTING MADE IN THAILAND
Hand tufting is the process of filling out a design by using a small drill motor with a custom yarn attachment. Because the yarns are hand placed, hand tufting gives a more precise design with a crisper look. This method also gives a broad variety of techniques such as shading (from one color into another) and yarn combinations (many colors in the same needle). We offer three different yarns (wool, Halo art silk, and silk) and eight separate finishes with this method each as beautiful as the next.The resultant look can be very similar to hand knotting and the wait for the rug is less than half. Again, any Davis design can be made using this method.
COLORS
AVIATION POM CHAIN
The Aviation Pom Chain is our color set which is matched to trending aircraft leather colors. These are available for our CYP machine. They can also be used with hand tuft with no upcharge.
STANDARD COLORS POM CHAIN
The Pom Chain is our established color set used with CYP machine made. They are available as an extended color set. It can also be used with hand tuft with no upcharge.
POM BOX
The Pom Box is available for hand tuft. This larger array of colors are different from the Pom Chain colors. The box can be convenient to use for matching less used colors. There is an upcharge to use these on CYP machine made, but not on handtuft.
YARNS
100% NEW ZEALAND WOOL
Wool is sustainable, renewable, and biodegradable. It is one of the few carpet fibers that is. When it comes to regeneration, sheep are unequivocally the best source for carpet fiber. Sheep live long comfortable lives producing wool as long as they live. There is less energy used to produce wool by a fractional amount compared to any other fiber. Properly cared for wool can and does perform without significant surface changes for many years. It is naturally resilient, stain resistant, abrasion resistant, insulating, comfortable, and luxurious.
HALO ART SILK
Halo art silk is the result of our commitment to solve the cleaning and performance weaknesses of the industry’s existing art silk. Our new generation of high luster type 6-6 nylon art silk is as soft to the touch as it is beautiful. This luxurious, but durable filament produces the perfect level of reflectance without the common imperfections found in similar art silk yarns. With Halo there are no dye ripples or spots, harsh shine, matting, or static build up, which are common when using viscose.
NATURAL MULBERRY SILK
Mulberry silk is the highest quality silk you can purchase. It is made from silkworms that are raised in captivity under exacting conditions. The process was developed thousands of years ago in Asia and it has become the world’s center of fine silk. The Mulberry silk thread is nature’s strongest fiber making it incredibly durable. A silk fiber the same diameter as a fiber of steel is stronger than the steel. It is rounder, finer, smoother, lighter, and more uniform in color than silk found in the wild. Davis and Davis insists on Mulberry silk to be used in our custom rugs. You may specify areas of detail or the entire rug be made of silk.
