The knotting technique is a completely manual method, by which the yarn is firmly attached to the warp by knots. The type of knot and its thickness differentiate the types of rugs made with this elaborate manual method. The value, quality and durability of the rug are directly proportional to the number of knots employed.
The hand knotting allows for complex designs, its main characteristics are meticulous workmanship, the high number of knots per square metre and the wide range of colour combinations.
Indotibetan hand knotting technique is particular, brought to India by Tibetan refugees, while the “sumak” knotting technique has Persian origins.
Handknotted rug, indotibetan technique, in vegetable fibers and bamboo silk. Brush is an abstraction of japanese calligraphic writing -shūji-.

Blot stains immediately, possibly with very little water, dry instantly with white absorbing cloth and hair dryer.If, after the above treatments, you’re not able to remove the stains, or if the rug is placed in heavy traffic public areas, we recommend the service of a professional clea-ner.
