They are usually finished with a special luster wash for softness and shine and come with a fringe. Hand-knotted rugs take the longest time to make and therefore the most expensive, but allow for the most flexibility in design and color placement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To construct a hand-knotted rug, the weaver strings cotton threads, called warps, on a frame which becomes the foundation of the rug. The pile yarns, usually wool or silk, are looped around cotton threads one at a time to create a thick pile. Cotton yarns are then woven side to side through the warps to hold them together; the cotton threads are generally tied off into decorative fringes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://spacify.com/contemporary_hand_knotted_rugs-583-474.html"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 147px; height: 211px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OK-nTThnfTo/SeNHfqs5B4I/AAAAAAAAAAU/GF8cmwgBfRY/s320/English-Rose---1640--p.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324177793846151042" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://spacify.com/contemporary_hand_knotted_rugs-583-474.html"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 199px; height: 199px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OK-nTThnfTo/SeNHw8eToZI/AAAAAAAAAAc/GZB1w2HzMzw/s320/English-Rose---1660-p.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324178090674594194" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Choose from a durable array of hand-knotted wool rugs, indoor/outdoor rugs, jute rugs, cotton blend rugs and many more options.
