ROYA RUGS

In the process of hand-knotting rugs, the knots are tied to the warp(s) of the rug, cut off, then the craftsmen will move along to the next knot. Once an entire line of knots is completed, they add a weft in between to ensure the line is even. A handknotted rug may have anywhere from 20,000 knots in a 8’ X 10’ size rug, to more than 300,000 knots depending on the quality. Warp thread: This is the thread that is strung over the loom vertically, and holds the tension while you weave. Weft thread: This is the thread that you weave between the warp threads, which keeps the knots in a light hold and the pattern aligned.
