a) Hand Knoted Carpets– Hand knotted rugs are the cream of the rug world. These rugs are produced using ancient techinques, have unlimited design and color variations and may have investment value in years to come. There are two weaving techniques which are used in hand knotted carpets namely Persian Weave (originally used in Iran and then adopted by Indian manufacturers) & Tibetian or Nepalese weave (as the name suggests it originated from Nepal and now is being used in India as well).
Hand knotted rugs are made on a vertical frame called a hand knotting loom. Columns of threads are stretched from the top to the bottom of the loom. These are called the warp threads and are the foundation of the rug. They also form the fringe ends of the rug and are very important to itís longevity. Once the warp threads are arranged up and down the loom, the actual production process begins. First the weaver begins by making a flat or non pile weave. This is intended to secure the knots which will form the rug from coming out at either end. After 10 -12 rows or more of flat weave are completed, the weaver begins the knotting process. He consults what is called a graph paper on which each square represents a single knot tied in a specific color of yarn. The graphs are constructed by a master designer who may wish to produce an ancient pattern or create a vision of his own. The weaver ties individual knots in the specified color to the warp threads across the entire width of the loom ñ and then begins a second row of knots again corresponding to the graph. Every row or few rows of knots the weaver inserts a ìweftî, a flat woven thread which holds the knots below in place. This process continues until the entire rug has been produced and the end is finished with a flat woven area similar to the one where the process began. Depending on the type of knot, the pattern and the number of knots required in this the process may take up to a year to complete. Once completed the rug is then ìshearedî to produce a uniform surface, hand washed to develop luster and then dried. Later on depending on the finishing process required by different carpets each carpet is unqiuely finished based on the customers requirement. Rupesh Kumar & Sons the parent compnay is the leading manufacturer of hand knotted rugs.

b) Hand Tuftted Carpets– Hand tufted rugs are produced by punching individual yarns through a fabric sheet using a device called a ìtufting gun or tufting machineî.
