- 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) |

|---|---|---|
| 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.
