One rug can set the foundation of a room and transform it magically. There are various techniques of weaving a rug. Today we are going to focus on hand-knotted rugs. A hand-knotted rug is a rug that is made entirely by hand on a special loom. This long-history traditional waving technique requires remarkable skills, patience and craftsmanship to produce intricate designs for the master pieces.
Hand-knotted rugs usually use natural fibers such as silk or wool. These materials are durable, soft, and stain- resistant . The quality and the cost of a hand-knotted rug is often determined by the number of knots per square inch. Generally speaking, a higher density means better quality. So, how to spot a hand-knotted rug? The easiest way is just to turn a rug over and if there is no backing on it and the design is the same on both sides, it is a hand knotted rug. No backing attached also makes a hand-knotted rug thinner which will not easily trip over people who walk on that.
