A rug is a type of floor covering that is typically used as a part of a room’s decor. They are not affixed to the floor, and can be rolled up and moved from place to place.
Various tools are needed to produce an oriental rug, including a loom (horizontal or upright framework) to mount the warps and wefts into which the pile nodes are knotted. The woven fabric is then “shot” in after each row of knots to stabilize it.
The warps and wefts in an oriental rug are usually made from natural fibers, such as wool, cotton, or silk. In some types of rugs, metallic threads are woven into the warps.
Some rugs are treated with chemical solutions to enhance their color, particularly the fringe. Often, these are applied at the same time that the rug is woven.
Another treatment for some rugs is a tea wash over-dyeing process, which gives the rug an appearance similar to the “wash-in” dye that your hair gets from shampoo. The tea wash can also be used to hide past damage and flaws, such as stains or dye bleeding.
While there are many different rugs and styles to choose from, one thing all rugs have in common is that they add a sense of comfort and warmth. If you’re looking for a new rug, it’s important to consider your lifestyle and how you plan to use the rug before you purchase it.
