HAND-KNOTTED

A high-end rug that usually takes multiple weavers many months to make. Each knot is hand-tied and the production process is long and complex. Large rugs may have millions of “knots” used to make a future “antique rug” and the perfect family heirloom.
HAND-TUFTED

Kaleen’s hand-tufted rugs are typically made using 100% imported wool or a wool-blend. Due to their thick piles and the way they are constructed, hand-tufted rugs are great to use in heavy traffic areas and will provide beauty for many years to come. When making a hand-tufted rug the first step is always the design. With the use of a tufting gun, skilled artisans punch Kaleen’s unique, hand-dyed yarns through the canvas bringing each rug to life, strand-by-strand.
HAND-WOVEN/HAND-LOOMED

Requiring expert knowledge, skilled artisans are necessary for this traditional method of weaving that produces flat rugs with highly detailed patterns. A precise manual weaving technique, involving vertical or horizontal looms, carried out by highly skilled artisans. These are done on a loom and the process takes 1-4 people depending on the size of the rug. On the loom, the yarn or weft is thrown through the middle of the bottom and top warp. The weaver then compacts the rug with the beater and the weft and warp are woven together. This alone is considered a flatweave. A pile is a difference between a flatweave and a loomed rug.
POWER-LOOMED/MACHINE-MADE

Machine-made rugs, also known as machine-woven or loom woven rugs, are rugs woven on power looms operated either by hand, machine, or computer. Moreover, machine-made rugs can imitate the patterns used in the most popular handmade designs at much more affordable prices.
TABLE-TUFTED

To cater to diverse requirements for more economical products and faster lead times, this technique has emerged. It’s basically like the hand-tufted process with a change of using a modified sewing machine to do the tufting.
PIT-LOOMED

Pit-Loom is set by sinking four posters into the ground and with an overhang slay. In case of pit loom, the yarn work inside the pit so that the warp yarn may absorb moisture and better weaving will result. In this loom, the combination of slaying and shuttle boxes.
BRAIDED

A flat braid construction is a common construction as it is one of the easier and more classic methods. Three ropes of fabric or yarn are intertwined. A yarn braid construction evolves from yarn in its initial state to a uniquely finished area rug. Braiding is an extremely old yet versatile technique that has been modernized over recent decades to display its appeal and charm.
