A Closer Look At Hand-Knotted Wool Rugs

Hand-knotted rugs are some of the most prized items in the modern rug industry. They're more complicated than hand-woven or hand-tufted, and they typically have more delicate details. Hand-knotted rugs are also usually made with higher-quality wool since the length must allow for pile and finishing.

Hand-knotted rugs have a distinct back and front, but the pattern on the back usually matches that on the front. They’ll require careful cleaning with a wool-specific detergent and do best in medium- to low-traffic zones.

Are Hand-Knotted Wool Rugs Right For Me?

If you love the idea of a soft, handmade rug accenting your living room, bedroom, dining room, or kitchen, hand-knotted wool rugs are perfect. You'll be able to find them in an array of styles to match any way you want your décor to look.

The following tips will help you find the perfect hand-knotted wool rug for your home:

• Size: Measure your room and subtract two feet from the width and length to find the maximum rug size for the space. Anything larger will make your room look cluttered.
• Shape: Traditional rectangular rugs work well for any space, but did you know that square rugs go well with square rooms? Or that round rugs work great with round tables and curved walls?
• Thickness: If you will have any doors that swing over your rug, the distance from the bottom of the door to your floor is the maximum thickness for your rug. Thicker rugs also do better in low-traffic zones.
