• The most labour-intensive weaving process, conducted by specially-trained artisans
  • Working off a rug map, artisans tie individual knots to build up the rug’s design one row at a time
  • The quality of a hand-knotted rug is determined by the number of knots per square inch (KSPI)
  • A higher KPSI requires greater skill on the part of the weaver and results in a higher-quality rug
Rug Type-5'x8'
(150x240cm)
Time to Manufacture Durability
Hand-Knotted 5-12 months 20+ years
How To Identify:

Individual, often uneven knots are visible on the back of these rugs, mirroring the pattern visible on the front.

  • Individual tufts of yarn are punched into a pre-made backing fabric with a special tufting gun
  • This tool hooks and pulls yarn through the backing to form loops or piles
  • This process is less skill and labor-intensive than hand-knotting, so rugs can be completed in a shorter amount of time
Rug Type-5'x8'
(150x240cm)
Time to Manufacture Durability
Hand-Tufted 4-6 months 3-10 years
How To Identify:

These rugs have a canvas backing glued on to hold the knots in place and usually have a cut or cut and loop pile.

  • Flat-weave rugs are created on a loom, rather than knotted or tufted
  • These rugs are often reversible, with designs on both sides
  • Because they only consist of warp and weft threads they don’t have the thickness of knotted and tufted rugs
  • Flat-weave rugs are lightweight and often require rug pads to stay in place
Rug Type-5'x8'
(150x240cm)
Time to Manufacture Durability
Flat-Weave 3-4 months 20+ years
How To Identify:

With their woven construction, these rugs are flat and don’t have a pile.

  • Weavers use a loom to create these rugs by hand
  • The loom holds the warp (vertical) threads in place and allows the interweaving of the weft (horizontal)
  • Different looms are used to produce different types of rugs: including felted textures, shag, naturals or solid and border rugs
Rug Type-5'x8'
(150x240cm)
Time to Manufacture Durability
Hand-Loomed Construction dependent (3-5 months) 3-10 years
How To Identify:

Hand-loomed rugs usually have a low to medium pile (other than shags, which have a deep pile) and can have a canvas backing added to them.

JAIPUR receives the Villgro Social Enterprise Award

'Villgro Social Enterprise Award 2011'
Posted: Dec 2 2011

Pracin Jain, Head Content & Communication, represented JAIPUR to receive the Villgro Social Enterprise Award 2011, during the social entrepreneurship conference Unconvention, for creating a global supply chain that integrates more than 40,000 carpet artisans from 600 remote villages in India.

The annual event is organized by Villgro Innovations Foundation, “the pioneers in championing rural innovation”, to recognize and felicitate outstanding individuals, enterprises and institutions in the Innovation & Social Entrepreneurship eco-system, for their contribution in effecting a sustainable change in society.

The Social Enterprise Award is given to organizations which are likely to become role models for start-up & early growth social enterprises. JAIPUR received the award for its innovative business model to impact rural communities in India.

In 1978, N. K. Chaudhary, founder and Chief Managing Director at JAIPUR, started working in the carpet industry with only two looms and nine weavers; today, JAIPUR has a consolidated network of more than 40,000 artisans in 10 states in the northern part of India. By offering fair wages and working on a business model which allows the integration of artisans in the production chain, JAIPUR is seeking to improve their quality of life. Jaipur Rugs Foundation, JAIPUR entity and non-profit organization, further catalyses sustainable livelihood for the artisans through rug weaving training & educational programs.

Villgro Awards 2011 has received nominations across different categories such as Lifetime achievement, Social Enterprise, Social Investor, Media House, Journalist, Grass root innovator, Social Incubator, Academic Contribution. One of the knowledge partners of the conference was Ashoka India.

Since 1994, JAIPUR has received more than 15 awards either for its social mission or for the innovations in the design of its diverse range of rugs and carpets. Ernst & Young “Entrepreneur of the Year Award 2010-Start Up” is one of the last recognitions.
