- 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.

Jaipur Celebrates New Atlanta Showroom Location; Hosts Book Signing with Suzanne Kasler
Rug News and Design Magazine
Posted: Jan 15 2015
ATLANTA — Jaipur is excited to announce a new showroom expansion and relocation in Atlanta’s AmericasMart. Their show space has moved to building 1, 12-F9 and has been extended by 2,074 square feet. The extra space will provide Jaipur with the room it needs to grow and expand beyond simply being a rug company.
“As Jaipur continues to develop beyond the boundaries of a rug business, it makes sense to move to the home furnishings floor and expand our space,” says Asha Chaudhary, CEO of Jaipur Rugs. “By incorporating more home décor and accessory pieces such as pillows, poufs and throws, Jaipur’s 8,257 sq. ft. show space will easily become a destination showroom for interior designers and home store businesses.”
The Atlanta International Gift & Home Market (January 6-13) will be Jaipur’s first market in their new location. To celebrate the move, Jaipur will be hosting a luncheon and book signing with designer Suzanne Kasler to conclude the two-day Atlanta Interior Design Camp.
Even if you are not attending Design Camp, Jaipur invites everyone to visit the new showroom to browse the latest trends, enjoy a nutritious lunch and be treated to a cup of gourmet coffee from Brash Coffee.
