Handmade rugs come in many different styles and production techniques. Understanding the differences can help buyers choose the right rug.
Hand-Tufted Rugs
Hand-tufted rugs are made using a tufting tool that inserts yarn into a fabric backing. They are faster to produce but still maintain a handmade quality.
Hand-Knotted Rugs
Hand-knotted rugs are made by tying individual knots by hand. This technique produces highly durable and detailed rugs.
Flat-Weave Rugs
Flat-weave rugs do not have a pile and are created by weaving threads together. They are lightweight and often used in casual spaces.
Hand-Loomed Rugs
Hand-loomed rugs are woven on looms using traditional methods. They provide a balance between craftsmanship and production efficiency.
