- 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 Wins Dallas ARTS award for Rug Category
rugnews.com
Posted: Feb 16 2012
NORCROSS, GA – Jaipur received the Manufacturer Area Rugs category award during the 23rd annual ARTS Award ceremony presented by the Dallas Market Center and the Accessories Resource Team (ART). This award is judged based on company philosophy, product development, merchandising, customer relations and community service.
This marks the third major recognition for Jaipur this year, according to the company. Jaipur also received recent recognition in the handmade rug category at the Magnificent Carpet Awards at AmericasMart during Atlanta Market and “Best Modern Design” at Domotex in Hannover, Germany.
“The ARTS award is such a prestigious honor for us because it recognizes not only excellence in design but the broader scope that encompasses branding, manufacturing processes and the social initiatives of our Jaipur Rugs Foundation,” said Jason Moody, creative director for Jaipur.
“This award means so much coming directly from our peers in the decorative accessories industry. This kind of recognition along with the other design awards we’ve recently received are a wonderful start the year,” said Asha Chaudhary, chief executive officer of Jaipur. “Perhaps more than our products, I’m pleased to see the life-changing programs we’ve developed through the Jaipur Rugs Foundation being recognized.”
Held yearly during the January Dallas Total Home & Gift Market, the ARTS Awards are the premiere awards program dedicated to the home decorative accessories industry. There are 26 categories recognized for manufacturer, retailer, product designer, sales representative, rising star, green design and academy of achievement.
