Hand Knotted vs Machine Knotted Premium Carpet

Namaskar! Today we explain the key differences between hand-knotted carpets and machine-knotted premium carpets. Understanding these differences helps buyers make informed choices for their flooring needs.

What is a Hand-Knotted Carpet?

Hand-knotted carpets are woven by skilled artisans who tie individual knots (200-1,000+ knots per sq inch) onto a foundation warp and weft, creating dense, durable pile. Each carpet takes weeks or months, like our imported Persian/Iranian carpets stocked in Panipat.

What is Machine Knotted Premium Carpet?

Machine-knotted (tufted/woven) carpets use advanced computerized looms to insert yarn precisely at high speeds (millions of knots daily). Premium versions mimic a hand-knotted look with 500-800g/sqm yarn density and cut-loop pile.
