Hand-Knotted Woolen Carpets: What Buyers Should Know
A single large hand-knotted carpet can take a skilled weaver three to six months to complete, tied knot by knot on a vertical loom in a technique passed down through generations of Bhadohi weaving families.

Unlike knotted carpets, dhurries are flat-woven on a horizontal loom — a faster technique that produces reversible, lightweight rugs suited to warmer climates and casual interiors.
- Packaging
- Export carton, jute-wrapped & moisture-sealed
- MOQ
- 100–200 sqm — lower per-unit cost supports higher volume orders.
- Lead Time

Jute matting has become one of the fastest-selling natural-fiber categories as Western retailers shift toward biodegradable home goods.
