Lot of time and labour go into the making of
Hand-knotted rugs, and hence such rugs become
costly. The weaver makes all knots individually
which also make the item unique and strong, when
compared to other types. Generally, 50 to 160
knots are made per square inch, while some have
400 knots a square inch in such a case, an
artisan will take more than a year for completing
a 9x12 rug.

Materials Chiefly, silk, wool and cotton are the
staple materials used for manufacture of
Hand-knotted rugs, with wool among them being the
most preferred choice. When wool is used, local
wools are mixed with New Zealand and South Korean
wools owing to their rich lanolin content and
this gives them the much needed extra sheen,
strength and pliability. Silk is very costly,
and also not strong so its used only for
accent. And, cotton is used in the underside, not
appearing on the pile. But all these materials
combine, forming a strong hand- knotted rug.

Rugs, looms and tools Different rugs are
produced with different looms. While factories
employ vertical looms for rugs, horizontal looms
produce country or nomadic rugs. For producing
straight rugs, a good quality loom will suffice.
When weaving, a weaver uses only a hooked knife
to pick up the yarn behind the warp threads and
pass it on to the front. Then, the weaver
tightens the rows of knots together with a comb,
and cuts the threads at the back of the rugs
uniformly using a scissor. Experience says that a
skilled weaver could tie as many as one thousand
knots in an hour.
