Handknotted
Similar to hand-tufted rugs but only in design, hand-knotted rugs are among the finest and most detailed rugs available today. Made by hand in the traditional way, using a Persian or Turkish knot, the density of the knots defines the rug's quality. Among other fibres, these rugs tend to be made using wool or silk and cashmere.
Handtufted
The expedited version of the hand-knotted rug, these are hardier, best used in high traffic areas. Made mostly from wool they are great for any areas on an interior prone to stains. This technique utilizes a tufting gun that quickens the process of constructing the rug and keeps the price of the rug much lower than a knotted rug of equal size. The hand-tufted rug looks and feels very much like a hand-knotted rug but Instead of tying each knot by hand, the tufted rug is made with a tufting gun from the back of the rug. (Rug hooking is similar but done from the front and the tops of the loops are not sheared.) First, the rugmakers hang and stretch taught a foundation cloth on a frame. Through the little squares in the cloth’s weave, they then shoot yarn loops from the back to the front using the tufting gun. Once they finish the whole front surface in this way, they shave down the loops to create an even surface. Skilled artisans may also cut the yarns with specialized angled scissors to achieve varying heights of the pile on the rug’s surface. This further complements the designs that they pattern across them.

The cotton fiber comes from the seed pod of the cotton plant. It is soft, strong and holds dyes very effectively. The yarns make up the warp and weft of hand-woven rugs that are durable, lightweight and usually have patterns that run the full length and width of the rug.
