Hand Knotted Rugs

Hand Knotted Rugs: FAQ

How long does a hand-knotted rug last?

With normal care, a well-made hand-knotted wool rug lasts for decades and often becomes an heirloom. Each knot is tied around the rug's foundation threads, so the pile is part of the structure rather than glued to a backing.

Is there a difference between a hand-knotted rug and a hand-knotted carpet?

Not in how they are made. The words are used interchangeably; "carpet" is often used for larger or room-sized pieces and "rug" for a defined piece placed on the floor.

How long does it take to make a custom hand-knotted rug?

Usually several months, depending on size and knot density. We confirm the production time with your quote before weaving starts.

Can I order a hand-knotted rug in a custom size or colour?

Yes. Every rug is made to order, so the size, colours and design can all be set to suit your room.
