Hand-knotted rugs represent one of the world's oldest and most labor-intensive weaving techniques, with origins dating back over 2,500 years to nomadic tribes in Central Asia and Persia. The earliest known example, the Pazyryk Carpet (c. 5th Century BC), showcases the ancient mastery of this art. At The House of Looms, our rugs are created knot-by-knot on a vertical loom. Skilled artisans from Bhahohi - Carpet city of India tie individual knots of wool or silk around the vertical warp threads, securing each row with horizontal weft threads. This meticulous process, often taking months or years for a single piece, results in exceptional durability, intricate detail, and a unique piece of textile art.

Hand-tufting is a highly adaptable rug-making method that rose to prominence in 19th-century America, evolving from traditional textile crafts. The House of Looms rugs are made by hand-punching strands of yarn through a canvas backing using a specialized hand-held 'tufting gun' to trace a pattern. Unlike hand-knotting, this process is faster and less labor-intensive. Once the pile is created, a protective fabric is glued to the back with latex to secure the fibers. This technique offers a balance of luxurious texture and affordability, making intricate, soft-piled designs accessible for your home.

Hand-looming is an ancient weaving technique, dating back to the earliest known textiles over 7,000 years ago. Our rugs are created on a wooden handloom, where the weaver manually interlaces horizontal weft threads through vertical warp threads. This is a swift and cost-effective method that uses a pedal-operated shuttle to interlock the yarns, allowing for quick production of varied textures, including flat-weaves and rugs with a low to medium pile. It produces a soft, durable rug with excellent tonal and gradient effects.

Born from the union of two timeless crafts, The Fusion Weave Collection transforms tradition into modern artistry. Each rug begins as a handwoven durrie, crafted with natural yarns on traditional looms. Over this foundation, our artisans hand-tuft intricate textures creating depth, warmth, and character in every inch.

The result is a sculptural surface where weave and tuft harmonize a piece that feels alive, tactile, and profoundly human.
