Senneh (Persian Knot)/Asymmetric Knot
To make this knot, the yarn is encircled around only one warp. Then the yarn is passed behind the adjacent warp so that it divides the two ends of the yarn. Made with thorough technique and skill, high quality Persians are are the gems of the industry, long term investments and symbols of status. Persian Knotted rugs made outside of Iran are called Oriental Rugs.
Tibetan Knot
This knot is made by using a temporary rod along with the width of the carpet. A continuous yarn is wrapped around two warps and one time around the rod. After the loops are finished, the row is slashed to make a cut pile Tibetan rug. A true Made In Tibet rug is hard to find these days even in Tibet. The rarity makes the original was very expensive. India and Nepal export most of the modern Tibetan knotted rugs today.
Hand Tufted
These rugs are tufted by hand using a tufting gun onto a fabric sheet. Once the rug is finished, a back cover is glued to hold the yarns into place and the front facing rug is trimmed. With a rising market and cost conscious consumers, these are usually cheap and easy to make.
