What
is the difference between hand knotted, hand tufted and flat weave rugs?
Posted by Andy on 10/10/2010 to Rugs
  Hand-Knotted Rugs:
This type of rug is
made in a loom, with warp cords from silk, cotton or wool stretched vertically
and weft cords stretched horizontally forming many rows of hand tied knots.
There are no glues or backing used in Hand-Knotted
rugs. These rugs are usually referred to as Oriental or Persian and are made
in Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, India, China, Turkey and other countries.
This type of rug is made by using glue and a cloth backing to hold the pile
fibers(tufts)in place. These rugs are faster to make and not as valuable as a
Hand Knotted rug. The thickness of the pile is determined by how much is sheared
off. The piles are made from wool or synthetic materials.
 Flat-Weave Rugs:
This type of rug is made like a old fashioned picnic basket by looping or
overlapping creating a flat weave. These rugs are made from organic materials
such as cotton, wool and bamboo and they are usually reversible. Some of the
trade names are Soumak, Dhurry and Killim.
