• The most labour-intensive weaving process, conducted by specially-trained artisans
  • Working off a rug map, artisans tie individual knots to build up the rug’s design one row at a time
  • The quality of a hand-knotted rug is determined by the number of knots per square inch (KSPI)
  • A higher KPSI requires greater skill on the part of the weaver and results in a higher-quality rug
Rug Type-5'x8'
(150x240cm)
Time to Manufacture Durability
Hand-Knotted 5-12 months 20+ years
How To Identify:

Individual, often uneven knots are visible on the back of these rugs, mirroring the pattern visible on the front.

  • Individual tufts of yarn are punched into a pre-made backing fabric with a special tufting gun
  • This tool hooks and pulls yarn through the backing to form loops or piles
  • This process is less skill and labor-intensive than hand-knotting, so rugs can be completed in a shorter amount of time
Rug Type-5'x8'
(150x240cm)
Time to Manufacture Durability
Hand-Tufted 4-6 months 3-10 years
How To Identify:

These rugs have a canvas backing glued on to hold the knots in place and usually have a cut or cut and loop pile.

  • Flat-weave rugs are created on a loom, rather than knotted or tufted
  • These rugs are often reversible, with designs on both sides
  • Because they only consist of warp and weft threads they don’t have the thickness of knotted and tufted rugs
  • Flat-weave rugs are lightweight and often require rug pads to stay in place
Rug Type-5'x8'
(150x240cm)
Time to Manufacture Durability
Flat-Weave 3-4 months 20+ years
How To Identify:

With their woven construction, these rugs are flat and don’t have a pile.

  • Weavers use a loom to create these rugs by hand
  • The loom holds the warp (vertical) threads in place and allows the interweaving of the weft (horizontal)
  • Different looms are used to produce different types of rugs: including felted textures, shag, naturals or solid and border rugs
Rug Type-5'x8'
(150x240cm)
Time to Manufacture Durability
Hand-Loomed Construction dependent (3-5 months) 3-10 years
How To Identify:

Hand-loomed rugs usually have a low to medium pile (other than shags, which have a deep pile) and can have a canvas backing added to them.
