Hand-knotted rugs are made by skilled artisans who carefully and slowly tie each knot onto a vertical loom that is built on a base of warp (vertical) and weft (horizontal) threads. Wool, silk, or cotton yarns are used to make the design of the rug, and each knot is tied by hand, row by row.

You weave the weft threads through the knots to hold them in place after each row. A rug with a higher knot count has more small knots and more detail. After the knots are tied, the rug is trimmed, washed, and stretched to make sure it stays in shape. Using this old-fashioned method, you can make one-of-a-kind rugs that are very durable and will last for generations.

Cleaning hand-knotted rugs requires gentle care to protect their intricate craftsmanship. First, vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting avoid beater bars that can damage the fibers. For light stains, blot (don’t rub) the area with a clean cloth and a mild soap solution or rug-specific cleaner.

Avoid using too much water, as it can loosen knots and cause dye bleeding. For deep cleaning, it’s best to consult a professional rug cleaner who specializes in hand-knotted rugs. Also, rotate the rug every few months to prevent uneven wear and sun fading. Proper care keeps these timeless rugs beautiful for years.

Hand-knotted rugs are made by tying thousands of knots onto a vertical loom by hand. This is a very labor-intensive process that makes rugs with a lot of detail that will last for decades. Because each knot is tied by hand, the texture is dense and smooth.

But hand-woven rugs, like flatweaves or kilims, are made by running threads through a loom without knots. They are usually thinner, lighter, and reversible, which makes them easier to move and clean. However, they don't last as long as hand-knotted rugs.
