1). Tufted Rugs Tufted rugs are easy to mass
produce, and make up the vast majority of the
rugs and carpets sold. The tufted material,
which is usually man made, is injected into a
backing material, which is then bonded to another
material, often hessian, for added
strength. 2). Needle Felted Carpets Needle
felted carpets are very durable. Their compact
fibers are attracted together via electrostatic
means. This type of rug is very new, having only
been available for the last three decades.
Because of its extreme durability and higher
cost, it is often used in high traffic locations
rather than homes.

3). Knotted Rugs Knotted pile rugs can be
machine or man made, depending on their origins.
The thread making up the carpet is pulled
through the backing material. Knotted rugs are
available in an array of colors and sizes. 4).
Woven Rugs Woven rugs are created on a loom, and
because of this, they can be stocked with many
different colored yarns. Both loop pile, also
known as barber, cut pile rugs and a combination
style can be made this way. The loom is the
oldest known rug making technique, and continues
to be a means of creating attractive, detailed
designs. When hand loomed, rugs of this nature
can be particularly expensive.

5). Hooked Rugs The domain of many a hobbyist,
the hooked rug is a style in which pieces of
material are drawn through a burlap backing to
create a simple rug. These hooked rugs, while
less expensive than their more intricate
counterparts, are charming and useful. 6). Flat
weave Rugs Threads or long pieces of material
are woven in and out of the cotton instead of
being tied around it. Sometimes, hobbyists
make flat weave rugs out of strips of old pieces
of clothing, such as jeans. European flat woven
carpet types include Damask, Venetian and Dutch
styles.

7). Embroidered Rugs Embroidery is a very old
craft. Instead of being formed on a loom,
embroidered rugs were hand stitched onto a
cotton or linen backing, held taut by a frame.
Royalty joined in too. Mary Queen of Scots was
known to have been an avid embroiderer. Some
Victorian embroidered rugs feature very
realistic, faux three dimensional flowers and
other intricate designs. Embroidered rugs were
somewhat mass produced when steel needles became
available, but have largely remained the domain
of craftsmen.
