Hand-knotted Rugs For Strength And Durability From Yanx.com
Prominent features
Lot of time and labour go into the making of Handknotted 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 Handknotted 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 it’s 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.
