ONE OF A KIND
Transform Your Home with Silkette Rugs
At Cyrus Artisan Rugs, our Silkette area rugs are a testament to exquisite design and premium quality. Crafted from Silkette, a proprietary material that comprises silk-like viscose yarns, these rugs epitomize Kalaty’s luxury rug styles. The key to Silkette lies in its origin, as it's woven from bamboo silk, an incredibly soft and smooth fabric sourced from bamboo.
The creation of bamboo silk begins with the extraction of cellulose from bamboo, which is then transformed into a viscous paste. This paste is meticulously dried, resulting in the formation of resilient yet luxuriously soft fibers. The outcome is a rug that seamlessly blends elegance, comfort, and durability, making it a perfect addition to your living space.
The Benefits of Silkette Area Rugs
Silkette is a premium-quality material with sturdier and easier-to-clean fibers than other types of viscose. Hence, if you place a Silkette rug in a high-traffic area, the bamboo silk in its fibers can withstand rough conditions and maintain its appearance.
Silkette area rugs also feature a distinct sheen and remarkable softness for exceptional decor pieces. They combine remarkable beauty with a strikingly smooth texture and soft underfoot, bringing comfort and sophistication to your space.
Finally, the bamboo silk in Silkette yarns is hypoallergenic and antimicrobial, which makes it perfect for homes with children or allergy sufferers.

How to Choose the Perfect Silkette Area Rug for Your Space
Here are some tips to follow when selecting a Silkette rug for your space:
- Texture matters: Opt for a rug crafted from bamboo silk to enjoy its soft, lustrous texture.
- Traffic flow: To preserve the piece’s beauty and longevity, select it for low-traffic areas like a bedroom or spaces less prone to spills.
- Shine and comfort: Leverage the naturally smooth texture of these rug types to add a touch of brilliance or coziness to your space. Light-colored rugs can infuse vibrancy, while warm hues offer comfort.
- Knot count: Remember the knot count when selecting your rug. Silkette rugs with a higher KPSI (knots per square inch) may come at a premium but offer enhanced durability in the realm of luxury rugs.

Caring for Your Silkette Area Rug
To preserve your rug, we recommend vacuuming it regularly. Avoid using beater bars or powerhead attachments while vacuuming the rug to prevent damage. Spills can also change your rug’s appearance, so it's best to blot them with white paper towels or clean terry towels immediately.
As for deep cleaning, a professional rug cleaner can ensure the quality of your rug. You may also rotate your rug often and use a rug pad to reduce wear, protect your flooring, and prevent slippage.
Silkette Rug Colors Available at Cyrus Artisan Rugs
When it comes to simple decor styles or subtle details in a space, beige, black, grey, and neutral tones complement these elements perfectly. Silkette area rugs in these colors include our Brilliance BRI-06 rugs with a neutral palette and abstract design that express simplicity.

Frequently Asked Questions About Silkette Rugs
What’s the difference between traditional silk & Silkette?
Traditional silk comes from mulberry silkworm larvae confined to produce it in usable amounts. The material is then used to weave rugs with (sometimes) high knot counts, creating intricate motifs.
Meanwhile, Silkette is made from bamboo silk, a silk-like material produced from the cellulose inside bamboo plants.
Do Silkette area rugs shed?
Silkette rugs shed because bamboo silk is a natural fiber. However, the amount of fibers removed from these area rugs depends on their value.
For instance, fine-quality Silkette rugs should shed for several weeks after they’re bought. Conversely, less prized and machine-produced rugs shed often.
What should I do if I have a sprouting rug?
If you see threads pulled up and out of your Silkette rug (called “sprouting”), you may cut them with small, sharp scissors for a uniform look. Avoid pulling the threads to prevent damage.
