While Middle East countries weaved and evolved such artful conceptions like carpets, Europeans, for centuries, just longed for receiving them from there. It was until French ruler imported Moorish weavers and England too, followed suit. We do read and learn about various wonderful information and knowledgeable facts about carpets. However, never do we have the foggiest of ideas that how are they made?

In a much broader prospect, there are mainly six types of carpet-making techniques, which are continued till today. They are as follows:

Machine woven

With the revolutionary advent of machines, hand woven carpet was accompanied with well known yet machine made Axminster and Wilton Carpets. Such was the beauty and impeccable finish of the resulted carpet, that it was difficult to individualize the differences.

Tufted

With a pre-woven backing, tufted carpets were a delight for home owners. Needles push through the yarn and held in place with “loopers”. Nowadays, it is done by a hand tufting machine.

Velvet pile

Loop pile carpets are always available as ‘velveteen’, which are hard bearing, smooth with a creamed touch.

Loop pile

Loop pile carpets are widely acclaimed for durability and great texture.

Fiber bonded

Such carpets sport fibers literally bonded to the carpet backing. These carpets particularly come with bitumen backings.

Hand knotted

The most expensive yet admired ones, hand knotted carpets come from the expertise of skilled craftsmen and carpet weavers. Traditional rugs and contemporary carpets which are hand knotted or hand woven come as finest quality craftsmanship.

Handloom

Those carpets which are woven with keeping the warp and the weft as a prime focus of weaving. Such a game of warp and weft does not shows a carpet pile. It is a unique style of weaving craftsmanship.
