Types of Wool Area Rugs

Choose from three types of wool at LuxeDecor. The type refers to the method of manufacture of the rug:

• Braided - You can find braided wool carpets that complement any country, cabin, or rustic décor. These can be manmade or handmade.
• Flatweave  - A flatweave carpet uses a weaving pattern that interlocks warp and weft threads.
• Handmade - Hand woven wool rugs cost the most, but these handtied or hand-knotted carpets also last the longest. A weaver ties the wool yar to a rug frame and larger rugs require many hours of manual labor.
• Machine Made - The machine made carpets get mass produced on power looms. While the automation process lets manufacturers make a lot of rugs. They cost less, but do not have the intricacies of the handmade rugs.
