The Weaving Process

Hand-knotting, a cherished tradition from Persia, has become an integral part of Indian heritage. Known as Persian Hand-knotting, this art form is special because each carpet is crafted with meticulous care, knot by knot and line by line. The process is intricate and detailed, ensuring every design is perfect. Creating a hand-knotted carpet takes time, ranging from two months to almost a year, depending on the quality and size. The result is a beautiful, unique piece of art that reflects the dedication and skill of the artisans.

Sure, I can help with that. Here’s a revised version in a more attractive and engaging style.

In the past, weavers would memorize each knot, singing out the colors of the lines in a technique called Boli weaving. Today, this has evolved into using design maps, allowing for more dynamic and intricate designs. These maps are placed at the base of the loom, with each pixel guiding the weaver on where to place each knot.

At Kaleen Baba, our artisans are part of the innovative and sustainable Manchaha initiative. This program allows them the creative freedom to design their own rugs right at the loom, bringing their unique artistic visions to life.

THE RUG

How to Identify?

You can see the unique, individual knots on the back of these rugs, just like the design on the front. The more detailed the pattern, the more knots you’ll find per square inch. This is known as KPSI (Knots per Square Inch), and it helps determine the rug’s quality.

Pile Height

Weaving Technique

The yarn is carefully knotted on warp threads, making it extremely detailed, durable, and valuable.

Ideal space

Pros

Highly durable with minimal shedding. Owning one is prestigious, admired around the world.

Cons

The only drawback is it can be a bit pricey, but the quality is worth it.

Knots per square inch (KPSI)

KPSI, or Knots Per Square Inch, is a key factor in judging the quality of hand-knotted rugs. Think of each knot like a pixel on a screen: the more pixels you have in an area, the sharper the image. The same goes for rugs – the higher the KPSI, the more detailed and beautiful the design.
