Kwazulu Weavers
Kwazulu Weavers offer a wide range of designs and colours to satisfy everyone’s
taste.
 Kwazulu Weavers Manufacturing was established some 13 years ago, bringing
together generations of weaving knowledge and experience. The factory and
shop are situated in the Central Drakensberg Mountain region of Kwazulu Natal,
South Africa.
Kwazulu Weavers currently employ around 45 staff, all from the local area,
ranging from Master Weavers, wool spinners, colour and dye house staff to
carding operators. We hand-weave both pure wool and cotton rugs on traditional
wooden looms and each step is carefully monitored to ensure our rugs conform
to international standards.
The conditions in the central Drakensberg are most favorable for working
with wool and Kwazulu Weavers prides itself in producing rugs of the highest
quality. Kwazulu Weavers receive ‘A’ grade New Zealand wool which we then
dye, card (comb) and spin. This is all done on the premises. The Master Weavers
then get to work weaving ‘a piece of art’ to the client’s
specifications and our shop has large viewing windows where you can see the
weavers at work.
 To produce our cotton rugs, the cotton is brushed into thin threads then
woven into an assortment of items such as placemats, table runners and bathroom
rugs. Aside from the wool and cotton rugs manufactured on the premises, we
also stock leather and fine weave rugs that are imported from India.
Kwazulu Weavers offer a wide range of designs and colours to satisfy everyone’s
taste. If you are unable to visit Kwazulu Weavers while in the central Drakensberg
then Kwazulu Weavers are able to take orders via phone, fax and email. Kwazulu
Weavers deliver their rugs nationwide at a nominal cost and for the overseas
visitors Kwazulu Weavers can ship it straight home for you so you don’t have to
worry about excess luggage.
 In addition, Kwazulu Weavers have an extensive selection of candles and
a section of our shop is devoted to the making of Aromatherapy candles and
soaps. These make ideal gifts for family and friends, along with the many
curio and home décor items available.
No visit to the Central Drakensberg is complete without a stop at Kwazulu
Weavers. We look forward to welcoming you! |
