Hand - Knotted

Best for large spaces and living room. Hand-knotted rugs are designed on a special kind of loom in a rug factory. In this weaving method, the specific design of the area rug is already known, so the stands can be placed on the loom to create the entire rug. Rug material is wrapped vertically on the loom. The craftsman creates knots on the wrapped strands and then cuts them before proceeding onward to the resulting knot. Then, the artisan creates horizontal rows of wefts across the knots to build a pile impact. These wefts are majorly created of silk, wool, or cotton. Afterward, craftsmen start knotting the material strands to create a sophisticated rug design. A complex pattern can require very dense knotting, and thus it can take a long time to produce. It can often take months to complete a hand-knotted rug. An average weaver can tie about 10,000 knots per day. So you can imagine how long it can take to complete one rug, especially if it happens to be a large one. The time involved in making it also accounts for hand-knotted rugs costing more on average than hand-tufted rugs. The weaving time entirely depends on the design and complexity. Wool, cotton, silk, jute, and other organic materials are used in creating hand-knotted area rugs. Hand-knotted rugs generally last for many generations if they are maintained properly.
