India
Saturday, February 6, 2010 at 2:06PM The popularity of rugs woven in India is due to the variety of designs, colors & workmanship available. The weavers are very attuned to the design needs of today's market and they seem to be able to translate that into rugs that are very appealing to the American consumer.
Hard Twist
Handspun wool. Hand-knotted process results in a silk like shimmer. The dying process creates a varied, softened hand-crafted look. Adapts well to most decors.

Wool and Silk
The extraordinary combination of wool with silk results in a lustrous rug that is packed with rich colors. People are attracted to the soft velvety touch.

Agra
Lustrous hand-knotted wool. Larger knot size results in larger more open designs with a casual feel. Often 'tea' washed which tones down & mutes the colors. 'Beefier' rug that is good for high traffic areas

10/14
High knot count results in smaller more detailed formal designs. Often has silk highlights resulting in a beautiful luminosity.
