- 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 Rugs moves into new Atlanta space
Home Accents Today
Posted: Dec 16 2014 By Home Accents Today
Rug and home décor manufacturer Jaipur has a new Americasmart home.
Jaipur’s new, larger showroom is on the 12th floor of Building 1, space 12-F-9. For years prior to the move, the company had occupied a showroom on the third floor. Company officials say the extra space will provide Jaipur the room it needs as it expands into categories beyond rugs.
“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,” said CEO Asha Chaudhary. “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.”
This Jan. 6-13 Atlanta International Gift & Home Furnishings Market will be Jaipur’s first in its new space. To celebrate the move, it will host a luncheon and book signing with designer Suzanne Kasler to conclude the two-day Atlanta Interior Design Camp on Jan. 11.
