A change in color in the field or border of a rug is called an ‘Abrash’. The color change extends across the rug,

the rug.
Rather than being seen as a flaw an Abrash is appreciated by carpet lovers as a testament of handwork.

It is a misnomer that all oriental rugs are unreasonably expensive. If you are on a budget you could still
buy a great carpet. Consider selecting pieces that are newer and factor in raw material and labor costs.
Silk yarn is most expensive than wool, and silk carpets also require more time and skill to weave because
of the more intricate patterns.

several months to make, while a medium-sized rug (5’ x 8’ feet’s) could take a person or persons a year.

Hand-Tufted Rugs: These rugs are woven using a distinctive tool known as a tufted gun. Quite frequently individuals fail to differentiate between hand-knotted rugs and tufted rugs due to their similar appearance. The noticeable distinction, though, is the acrylic canvas on the back of the tufted couch.

Hand-Woven Rugs: These types of rugs are finely woven with thousands of tiny knots, following an elaborate pattern. Commonly, silk and wool fibres are used to knit these knotted rugs. In monetary terms, these rugs are expensive but are worth every penny, because of their craftsmanship.
