First,&nbsp; the material (we\u2019ll use wool from here on out today) is dyed. Once the wool has the&nbsp; depth of color the weaver is looking for, they\u2019ll stretch what will become the rug\u2019s mesh&nbsp; backing on a frame. Then, they\u2019ll hand-draw their chosen design on the mesh. This&nbsp; process applies to both hand-knotted and <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/hand-tufted-rugs\" title=\"hand-tufted rugs\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">hand-tufted rugs<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/what-is-a-hand-tufted-rug\/\">Hand-tufted rugs<\/a> use a special tool called a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tufting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tufting gun<\/a>. This \u201cpushes\u201d the wool\u00a0 through the backing. Next, they\u2019ll use various methods to hold the tufts in place before\u00a0 finishing the design. Finally, they\u2019ll cover the rug with a cloth backing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is a hand-knotted rug?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s pick up the rug design process at the same point as before. In this scenario, the&nbsp; weaver has already dyed their wool, stretched the canvas, and drawn their design.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weavers use their hands to pull the wool across the frame and into the design. They\u2019ll&nbsp; carefully create knots using no type of mechanical assistance. Instead, each knot is&nbsp; hand-created, with a skilled weaver having the capacity to make as many as 10,000&nbsp; knots per day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hand-knotted rugs often have no backing, meaning that the knot is easily visible if you&nbsp; flip the rug over. This process is the most common method of production in Persian,&nbsp; Oriental, and Turkish rugs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Blog-3-Differences-between-Hand-tufted-Hand-knotted-rugs-Image-2-300x300.png\" alt=\"hand-knotted rugs\" class=\"wp-image-223\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Blog-3-Differences-between-Hand-tufted-Hand-knotted-rugs-Image-2-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Blog-3-Differences-between-Hand-tufted-Hand-knotted-rugs-Image-2-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Blog-3-Differences-between-Hand-tufted-Hand-knotted-rugs-Image-2-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Blog-3-Differences-between-Hand-tufted-Hand-knotted-rugs-Image-2-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Blog-3-Differences-between-Hand-tufted-Hand-knotted-rugs-Image-2.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>So what is the difference between hand-tufted and hand-knotted rugs? <\/strong><br>As we mentioned there is no backing on a hand-knotted rug. This is the most visually&nbsp; obvious difference between hand-tufted and hand-knotted rugs. The reason is simple:&nbsp; sometimes, the materials used to hold a tuft in place can scuff wood. Rather than take&nbsp; that chance, the backing is applied to protect your flooring.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Second, the most obvious difference is the method of production. The knots in a hand tufted rug are \u2014 you guessed it \u2014 created entirely with human hands. Hand-tufted&nbsp; rugs use the aforementioned tufting gun and another method to \u201chold\u201d the tufts in&nbsp; place (commonly a form of glue).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The highest quality rugs for your home<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When deciding on any new addition to your home, it\u2019s always helpful to work with an&nbsp; expert.
