How can I tell if a rug is truly hand-knotted?

Flip it over! A real hand-knotted rug will have a detailed pattern on the back, almost like a mirror image of the front. You’ll also notice small, uneven knots—because it's handmade, perfection is in the imperfection! Also, no glue or backing is used, unlike machine-made rugs.

Do hand-knotted rugs last longer than other rugs?

Yes! Because each knot is tied individually, these rugs are extremely durable and can last for decades sometimes even centuries if properly cared for. The natural fibers used, like wool and silk, also help maintain their beauty over time.

What’s the difference between hand-knotted and hand-tufted rugs?

Hand-knotted rugs are made entirely by tying individual knots by hand, which takes much longer but results in a higher-quality, long-lasting rug. Hand-tufted rugs, on the other hand, are made using a tufting gun that punches fibers into a backing. They look similar but aren’t as durable or valuable.

Turn it over! A real hand-knotted rug will have a pattern on the back that looks a lot like the design on the front. There are also small, random knots in it because it was made by hand. The beauty is in the messiness! Not like machine-made rugs, they don't use glue or backing either.

Yes! Because each knot is made by hand, these rugs are very strong and can last for decades or even centuries if they are taken care of properly. Wool and silk, which are natural fibers, also help them stay beautiful over time.

Hand-knotted rugs are made by making each knot by hand. This process takes a lot longer but makes a better rug that will last longer. On the other hand, a tufting gun is used to punch threads into a backing to make hand-tufted rugs. They look the same, but they're not as important or long-lasting.
