Size of 6-Meter Handwoven Rugs

In addition to 6-meter rugs, handwoven rugs are also classified into 9-meter handwoven rugs and 12-meter handwoven rugs based on their dimensions. They are further categorized into different types such as Qali, Qalicheh, Kenareh, Kalgi, Paderi, and more; where Qalis are further divided into smaller, medium, large, and extra-large rugs. 6-meter handwoven rugs fall under the category of small Qali rugs.
One thing to note is that handwoven rugs, being handmade products, do not have uniform and precise dimensions like machine-made rugs. For example, a 6-meter handwoven rug may measure seven meters or even seven and a half meters.

Features of Handwoven Rugs

Handwoven rugs have specific features and criteria that determine their value and quality. Some of these features include:
Number of Knots: Knots refer to the number of yarns per square centimeter in a rug. The higher the number of knots, the better the quality of the rug. Rugs with more than 85 knots are considered highly valuable, while those with fewer than 24 knots are of significantly lower quality. In this regard, handwoven rugs with 20 to 25 knots, 40 to 45 knots, and 40 to 50 knots have different price ranges.
Quality of Knots: The quality of knots plays a significant role in determining the quality of handwoven rugs. Higher knot counts indicate denser rugs that are more valuable, while lower knot counts result in less dense rugs with lower expected value.
Foundation: The foundation of a rug refers to its structure, including the soundness of the rug’s base, consistent weaving patterns, and control over the rug’s height.

Types of Silk Handwoven Rugs

While handwoven rugs are inherently unique and special due to their craftsmanship, silk adds an extra touch of luxury and value. The more silk used in the rug, the more astonishing and distinctive it becomes. Silk gives the rug a more luxurious appearance and enhances its beauty.
Silk handwoven rugs come in various types, and their prices and appearances differ based on the amount and type of silk used.

Why Choose Handwoven Rugs?

You may have heard the saying “someone remains like a Kerman rug,” but what qualities do handwoven rugs possess?
Interestingly, handwoven rugs become more beautiful and radiant the more they are used. This may seem strange, but since natural wool and silk fibers are used in handwoven rugs, this becomes believable.
Natural fibers, such as wool, have special properties. They have resilience and do not retain pressure or indentation when stepped on. When pressure is applied to the fibers of the rug, they return to their original state, preserving the shine and beauty of the rug. This is in contrast to machine-made rugs that lose their initial beauty over time and do not retain their attractiveness.
This is another characteristic that distinguishes handwoven rugs from machine-made rugs, as synthetic fibers have much lower durability and longevity compared to natural fibers.
