The “oriental rugs” are a hand made product? This are the things running in the mind of the people want to buy oriental rugs at home. That’s true, oriental rugs is a hand made product come from the ancient century. Traditionalist agrees an Oriental rug made up of one that was hand knotted or woven, not machine made, from any number of countries. And some of country includes China, India, Tibet, Persia, Turkey, Nepal, Afghanistan, and Pakistan in Asia, and Morocco and Algeria in North Africa.

In the material to construct such a rug, we need a Loom, which is a large wooden border with consistently spaced pegs on long, parallel beams. Other people want to use a vertical loom over a horizontal, flat one. After that, in mapping out a customary design, you make a decision on the border of the rug, the centerpiece, and other patterns in the “field,” or background. Once you spun and dyed all the colors of wool, silk, or even yak hair, you could start weaving.

Warp, Weft, and woof is the structural components of the rug. Actually, the stringing cotton tautly crossways the top and bottom pegs of the loom forms the Warp. For a stand-up loom, the warp runs up and down. The other set of string is called the weft, running vertical to the warp, which are yarn in and out of the warp. In a Kilim, or flat rug, the weft makes the design with this weaving. Except in a knotted rug, the woof creates a more complex pattern out of individual knots of wool tied onto the warp. Over centuries, this basic technology has not changed.

The most complicated and time intensive is the knotting process. Take months to knot area rugs, with five workers making 6,000 knots a day, and working from the bottom up, you would build rows of knots in a variety of colors. In between those rows, the weft holds the knots in place and strengthens the rug. Eventually, you would have a rough rectangular surface of millions of knots.

By trimming the knots to the same height and creating a spring you would level the surface, soft pile. And the rug can be unconventional from its loom by trimming the warp from the pegs. These strings are often tied off and left as the recognizable fringed edge. Lastly, you would wash the rug and stretch it to give a lush appearance.

Although machines can make rugs that resemble true Oriental rugs, they merely loop and weave thread to imitate real knotting. Also, machine-made rugs frequently use materials inferior to silk, cotton, or wool, such as rayon and other synthetic fibers, which dealers often try to pass off as authentic.
