Quality determination of custom rugs and custom carpets

Quality of Custom rugs or custom carpets ;-

When someone asks for the quality of handmade rugs, that means different terms in view of differnet types of rugs. In case of handknotted rugs the qualites are termed as 9/45 quality, 10/50, 10/52, 11/55, 12/60, 13/65, 14/70 onwards, some also calls these as 9/9, 10/10/, 11/11, 12/12, 13/13, 14/14 onwards. However in case of indo tibetan handknotted pattern, the qualities are termed as per knots. These are called 45 knots, 60 knots, 80 knots, 100 knots, 150 knots and 200 knots. Both these are handknotted, but are different in sense of pattern of weaving.If the design is moderate and not too much complicated we suggest not to go with the higher knots and increase the cost.

In case of handtufted rugs the quality is mainly determined with the yarn consumed per sq meters or say per sq yard.

In case of handloom rugs or flat woven rugs/dhurries, the quality is determined with the closeness of warping, again you can say the density.

Custom rugs with fringes and without fringes

Some demand handmade rugs with fringes some asks for handmade rugs without fringes, some asks for handmade Rugs with embossing some doesnt like the handcarving and asks for the rugs without embossing. Some get confused with 2 term embossing and carving, please note that these are taken one and same thing. Embossing or say carving on rugs, can create such beautiful effect, that the plain rug looks like weaved rug. We are talking all these issues in respect of hand tufted rugs and handknotted rugs.
