- 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.

Rajasthan Art comes alive at the design carnival in pink city: In its second edition of Jaipur Design Carnival, Pearl Academy brought alive the colors of Rajasthan in the city campus. The two-day festival, held on May 13 and 14, provided an interactive platform that successfully engaged many intellectuals, creative aspirants and budding talent from the country. The festival included residency workshops on making toys, lime jaali, how to go about ply-split braiding coupled with innovative demonstrations of different designs and art work
The graduating batch of School of Design as well as School of Fashion, Styling & Textiles of the academy displayed ingenious projects. The jewelry projects of the students, already picked up and sponsored by renowned jewelry brands, impressed the visitors. Fashion designer Manish Malhotra inaugurated the incubation Centre, Canvass, at Pearl Academy. Aimed at boosting entrepreneurship among students, Canvass will provide infrastructure and industry mentoring to help students’ entrepreneurial ideas to become a reality. Ramalingam Seetharaman, campus director at Pearl Academy Jaipur, said, “It was a proud moment to see the designs and works of our students on display. Such engaging sessions and exchange of ideas play a significant role in promoting local art and craftsmanship, and bringing them closer to our design students who, we hope, will take the legacy forward through their work. We also hope that Canvass will boost India’s start-up movement and get more fashion entrepreneurs to join the start-up bandwagon.” The two-day carnival concluded with a musical performance by Omar Farooq.
