A woven fabric that covers part of the floor in a home. The term rug is often used interchangeably with the word carpet but there are differences between them. A carpet extends wall-to-wall or is permanently fixed to the floor and a rug covers a smaller area. In some cases, rugs are made from wool while carpets are typically made from synthetic or cellulosic fibers like viscose/rayon. Rugs are often hand-knotted or woven on frames called rug looms. The weaving method determines whether a rug is considered to be hand-woven or machine-woven.
TEXTURED LOOPS: A distinct weave technique that utilizes highly twisted yarn for a textured cut-pile effect. It is harder wearing than level loop pile and reduces tracking.
WARP: The vertical threads that establish the foundation of a hand-woven rug. A continuous yarn is looped around them and then cut to create the pile. This weaving technique is done on a frame called a rug loom and produces a slightly ridged surface.
BORDER: A defining feature of a rug. It can be a solid color or a pattern. The color should compliment and contrast the principle design motif of the rug.
TRADITIONAL: A broad style category that includes traditional Oriental/Persian and classic European styles. In new rugs, this designation may be applied to designs that replicate antique motifs.
ABRASH: Color variegation from varying dye depths in one rug. This is a result of the fact that wool absorbs dyes at different rates. In new rugs this effect can be minimized by selecting wool that has been processed to allow for more even coloring.
