Hand-Knotted Wool Rugs Designs

Hand-knotted wool rugs are the most labor-intensive and durable category of handmade rugs we produce. Each knot is tied by hand on a traditional loom, a process that can take weeks to months depending on size and knot density. We work with experienced artisan clusters to produce hand-knotted wool rugs in custom sizes, colors, and patterns for wholesale buyers and retailers across the US and Europe.

Shown below: our current ready designs in this category. Every rug is made to order, so custom patterns, colors and sizes beyond what's shown here can be produced on request — tell us what you have in mind.

FAQs: Hand-Knotted Wool Rugs

How long does a hand-knotted rug take to make?

It depends on size and knot density. Larger and finer rugs take longer because every knot is tied by hand. We confirm a realistic production timeline with each quote rather than quoting a generic figure.

Can you replicate a design we already sell?

Yes. Share a reference image or sample and we will produce a strike-off sample for your approval before starting bulk production.

What is the difference between hand-knotted and hand-tufted?

Hand-knotted rugs are woven knot by knot into the foundation and last far longer; hand-tufted rugs are made with a tufting gun on a backing, so they are faster and more affordable but less durable.

Do you support private label?

Yes. Labels, packaging, and hangtags can be produced to your brand specification as part of the order.

What do you need to give a quote?

Size, quantity, a reference image or pattern, and your target colors. A rough budget helps us recommend the right knot density.

About

All About Hand-Knotted Wool Rugs

01

What is a hand-knotted wool rug?

A hand-knotted rug is built one knot at a time. An artisan ties short lengths of wool yarn around the warp threads of a loom, row after row, until the pattern emerges. There is no machine or backing involved, which is why a hand-knotted rug is flat on the back, reversible in pattern, and durable enough to last for generations.

Because the design is part of the weave itself rather than printed or tufted on top, colors stay crisp and the pile can be repaired knot by knot if it ever wears.

02

Materials and construction

We weave with wool, wool-and-silk blends, and cotton foundations. Wool is chosen for resilience, natural stain resistance, and the way it takes dye. Knot density, measured in knots per square inch, determines how fine the pattern detail can be and how long weaving takes — a denser rug costs more and takes longer, and we will advise on the right density for your price point.

03

Sizes, colors, and custom work

Standard sizes such as 5x8, 6x9, 8x10, and 9x12 ft are available, along with runners, rounds, and fully custom dimensions. Send us a reference image, a Pantone or yarn swatch, or an existing design you sell, and we will produce a strike-off or sample for approval before bulk production.

04

Who buys hand-knotted rugs wholesale

Our hand-knotted range is typically ordered by independent rug retailers, interior designers sourcing in volume, hospitality projects, and importers building a premium line. Private label and white-label programs are supported.
