Frequently Asked Questions

What does hand-knotted actually mean?

Each knot is tied by hand onto the warp threads of a loom, so the pile is part of the rug's structure rather than punched into a backing and held with adhesive. It is the slowest and most durable way to make a rug - a 153 x 243 cm piece takes months on the loom, which is why hand-knotted costs more than hand-tufted and why it lasts decades rather than years.

Will furniture leave permanent dents in the pile?

Heavy furniture compresses wool pile, but wool recovers better than synthetic fibre. Use furniture coasters under legs, shift pieces slightly every few months, and lift dents by misting lightly with water and brushing the pile up as it dries.

How is this different from a hand-tufted rug?

A tufted rug has its pile punched into a fabric backing and glued in place; a hand-knotted rug has no adhesive and no separate backing at all. Tufted rugs are cheaper and quicker to make but the backing eventually degrades. Hand-knotted rugs are the ones that get passed down.

Will it slip on a tiled or marble floor?

Any rug will slide on tile, marble or kota stone, which is most Indian flooring. Use an anti-slip underlay underneath - it stops the movement, adds cushioning underfoot and keeps the edges from curling up over time.

How do I protect it from moths during storage?

Moths are the real risk to any wool rug in India, and they attack rugs that are rolled away unused rather than ones in daily use. Clean it before storing, roll it with the pile facing inwards, wrap it in breathable cloth rather than plastic, and tuck in neem leaves or naphthalene. Unroll and air it every few months.
