Selection of rug techniques available at Karnor:
Karnor offers a variety of traditional and modern rug weaving techniques. Currently, we offer the following types of rug services:
Tibetan hand knotted
A classic Tibetan knot technique native to Tibet and the Himalayan regions of Nepal. This technique consists of looping pile yarns around warp threads while a trapped metal rod is used to determine the thickness of the rug.
Flatweave / Dhurrie
A traditional, flat-woven floor covering originating from India and Pakistan. A method of crafting textiles by tightly interlocking horizontal weft threads over and under vertical warp threads on a loom. This produces a firm, reversible surface with no raised pile
Persian
The Persian knot (also known as the Senneh knot) is an asymmetrical weaving technique used to create fine, hand-knotted rugs. The yarn wraps around one vertical warp thread and passes behind the adjacent warp, allowing for exceptionally high knot densities
Handloomed
Hand-loomed carpets are created by skilled artisans who manually operate a horizontal or vertical loom to interlace yarn. This technique uses a shuttle to pass the horizontal threads (weft) through the vertical threads (warp). It produces textured rugs that are faster to craft.
Hand-tufted
A semi-manual method where artisans use a specialized, hand-held "tufting gun" to inject yarn into a stretched, pre-woven primary backing fabric. Unlike hand-knotted rugs, no actual knots are tied; instead, the gun shoots and secures the yarn into the fabric, later held by glue.
