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.

About Bugali

Bugali, a young weaver, started weaving in order to support her family. Her father and 3 brothers work as daily wage earners in the village and mother is a weaver. Belonging to a financially deprived family, Bugali couldn’t continue her education despite wanting to. Now with Jaipur Rug’s alternate education program she is able to pursue education along with other women of her village, getting empowered with every passing day.

Design Story

Hariyali

Weaver designer Bugali was determined to make a detailed and intricate pattern on her rug. She confesses that as the rug progressed she was unhappy with the pattern and thought that it wasn’t appealing. She approached the grassroot leader from her village, Prem, and shared her apprehensions. Prem inspired Bugali to use two-ply yarn of mixed colors and then play with varied motifs. Gaining her lost confidence, Bugali knotted shapes inspired by shakkarpara (common breakfast snack) and boxes. Her mother also helped her weave a few inches on the rug. Once complete, she loved her rug and laughed at herself for being nervous even though she had designed many rugs in the past. Bugali chose various shades of color green as they remind her of the freshness of grass. She calls her rug ‘Hariyali’ which is a Hindi word for greenery.

To the owner of the rug
To the owner of the rug, “Each time you walk on this rug, may you feel underfeet, the fresh dew drops that are found on grass-fields early in the morning”
