Persian Hand Knotted

Hand Knotted Rug, better home investment

Knot is a strand of wool which is wrapped round two adjacent warp threads to tie them together. This knot is reducing to form the pile of the carpet, which makes a carpet both flat woven or pile. Flat weave takes less time than a pile carpet and subsequently are much less expensive. Kilims are a popular type of flat woven oriental rugs.

Black rug are popular because in these types of carpets every single weave is knotted and tied as compared to factory made carpets. They are more durable and long lasting and not to mention more beautiful and delicate. These carpets do not fade or deteriorate with time; instead they improve in texture and quality. Moreover, hand-knotted oriental rugs are easier to wash and take care of. As a final note, hand-knotted Persian and Turkish carpets might be more expensive than factory made rugs, but since they last longer they prove to be a better investment.

With the right care and maintenance, hand knotted rug can last for decades. It is important to understand that rugs are very different from traditional wall to wall carpeting and have many advantages over it. Because of their unique design, they are largely resistant to stains and they look like new even if they have been used for years due to the special dyes used in the fabric. These dyes prevent their color from fading easily, but you should remember that direct sunlight, especially if it is intense, can damage any kind of rug. Both natura1ly dyed and synthetic dyed rugs are prone to damage from exposure to sunlight. So you need to ensure that your area rug is not exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods of time.

Hand Knotted Rugs

Hand knotted rugs are well known as products from the Orient and the Middle East but there is a history with these types of rugs within American culture as well. Colonial women worked in large groups to fashion these types of rugs in the earliest, primitive dwellings in the original colonies.  The love for these handmade rugs is still evident today, although there are different inspirations from different areas of the globe. And it seems each country has its own specialty feature that makes their hand knotted rugs unique.  For instance, the Turks are well known for crafting amazingly elegant rugs that have graced the halls of palaces.

American Hand Knotted

The American tradition of creating these rugs was born out of necessity. The floors of colonial homes were often made of wide plank wood and there were usually substantial gaps in the floor boards that would allow for the elements to get in. Covering these floors with rugs was almost a necessity. These rugs were largely made out of cotton strips of material, mostly scraps of material. It could take some time to collect enough scraps to create a rug, but they were actually quite attractive when completed.

Most Popular

The most popular or well known hand knotted rugs are made in the Mideast and Asia. These rugs have a very long history, with the oldest one known to exist coming from the early twelfth century. These types of rugs are still wildly popular today, they are much coveted. In fact, it isn’t uncommon to see the heirs to a huge estate fighting not over grandma’s diamonds and jewels, but over her centuries-old hand knotted rug.  A hand knotted rug can become a family heirloom with proper care and handling.

How to Select a Hand Knotted Rug

When selecting your hand knotted rug, coordinating it with your existing furniture and décor is often a good way to go. But keep in mind that chances are good that you will have the rug much longer than you will own your sofa and chair in the living room, so going with a neutral color scheme for your hand knotted rug may make more sense.  This will give you the opportunity to change colors within the room and still be able to make use of the rug.  Look for a tightly woven hand knotted rug.  Loose weaves tend to unravel more rapidly and therefore do not last as long.

Dealers Online

There are plenty of dealers online that have this type of rug for sale, many of them at a great discount. Many online dealers offer free shipping options, which only adds to the savings.  Shopping online will offer much more access to inventory. Most people realize that shopping online literally opens up the world to you. You may be able to buy a hand knotted rug directly from the source when you shop online.

Where should I put rugs in my preschool classroom?

I currently don’t use rugs in my classrooms but I use those colorful foam squares that attach together as mats in the block center, dramatic play center and the quiet center. I spend a lot of my time cleaning my classroom at the end of the day and I would love to take as much of these things out as possible to make my life easier….On the other hand I don’t want to cause a drab environment and I realize that children need carpeted areas to make the classroom feel like a more warm environment.

my mom was a preschool teacher! the way she had her room was like one section was some tables to color and stuff, the other section was like toys, the last section was in the corner there was a chair where the teacher would sit and they had a circular rug in front of it! the kids sat around the circle and my mom would read to them! its kinda hard to explain! it depends how big your room is! I think it would be good to keep the mats in the reading center! This is just what i have seen!!

Hand Knotted Persian

How do I sew velcro onto the back of a Persian rug?

It’s like a Persian rug (much less expensive–a rustic rug for our lodge-style home that’s perfect as a wallhanging, but we want to hang the rug like a tapestry using velcro against a velcro-stapled board (as they do in museums). The problem is that the weaving is so virtually impenetrable that I’m breaking needles, fraying thread, creating callouses, dying a slow death This will take me next to forever. There must be a better way than doing this by hand. Or, am I simply using the wrong equipment? I’m using curved upholstery needles, thimbles, upholstery thread (the thread often frays or comes out of its knot!), pliers (for the intense pushing of the needles through the shield-like rug backing. Please help!

Instead of sewing on the Velcro, use a stapler, with the flat side of the staple on the back of the rug. The bent prongs will be hidden in the nap of the weave on the front side.

If you have to sew it, use a very thick upholstry needle, or one for counted cross stitch. The needle is very heavy and has a broad eye. Use a small piece of rubbery plastic to grip the needle as it goes through the Velcro and rug. Use quilting thread or buttonhole twist, doubled and run through a piece of candle or beeswax.

You can find new products and new service providers popping in day in and day out, so many that it is really becoming quite a problem when trying to keep up. Some were lucky enough to get rave reviews by their customers and have been attaining and developing great reputations and a steady list of clients. Others were not so lucky and were out of the picture even before we knew they existed. A majority of those who succeeded in penetrating our ever fickle market posses the qualities that most companies must have in order to survive: excellent services, reasonable prices, and a knack for knowing what the public will want even before they know it. One of the great new products entering our teeming market are the cheap carpet tiles.

A brief review on what these are might be in order. And so, cheap carpet tiles are basically small carpets that come in a variety of sizes that you could choose from. They also come in a multitude of colors, so you can grab whatever strikes your fancy. On top of all that, there are also several different types that you can select from, whether tufted, knotted, needle felt or woven, among others. Sometimes, this carpeting material is also called a carpet square, given the fact that all its sides are of equal length.

As you can see, there are a great many advantages to this type of flooring, and I would gladly give you two of them:

1. The size is the best feature these cheap carpet tiles. You do not have to worry anymore that the carpet that you bought would be too big or too small for your space. As for carpet, as I’d like to call them, when you have underestimated the size of your room or space, and the carpet that you bought is too big, you cannot just grab a pair of scissors and hack away until it fits perfectly. You would not only be creating a lot of trash, but also a lot of mess too, and a perfectly-good-but-now-ruined piece of carpeting.

2. Easier to manage damage. This attribute is actually closely related to the size of the individual carpets. You see, because of the smaller surface area of the cheap carpet tiles, you would need to get a bunch of these tiles and place them next to each other to create a whole-carpet effect. Now, if you happen to spill wine and the stain won’t come out..or maybe get a cigarette burn on them, you do not have to throw out the whole thing. You just have to replace that area that was damaged. See? Easy, breezy! With the carpet, you have to throw out the whole thing and declare it unusable. You cannot cut out a portion, because if you do, you might just unravel the whole thing, or disrupt the design concept of the carpet. You also could not let it just stay in your living room floor for who would want a stain on their carpet where everybody could see it?

I have nothing but praises for cheap carpet tiles. They are everybody’s answer to cheap and easy flooring..and of course, mine too!

Hand Made Persian Rugs

Why buy a hand made carpet instead of machine made one?  The difference in quality and beauty is stag rent. 

• Hand made carpets are more durable than machine made rugs.   They last for centuries if good care is taken.  Machine woven carpets ware off after a few years of use.
• Hand made rugs age beautifully and look more beautiful with age.
• Hand made rugs are like original paintings.  They hold their value or even appreciate over time. 
• Hand made rugs are not perfect.  It is normal for a hand made rug to be a little bit crooked, or have imperfections in the design, or even in the case of the tribal rugs, inconsistency in the shades of colors used. This adds to their charm and beauty, specially, in the case of tribal carpets.  As nomads travel, they can’t always match the shades.  This tells us a bit of the history of the carpet as to how many times the tribe stopped and resumed traveling while making this particular rug.

• Machine made carpets are not crooked as they are tightly pulled by the machine.  However, they don’t have the charm and warmth of a hand made rug.
• Machine made rugs are usually made of synthetic materials but you can find some that are made of wool.
• Machine made rugs are mass produced and they are not unique.  Thousands of rugs of the same design look exactly the same.
• The dye used on machine made rugs is made of chemical products.
