The term "Fine Quality" is used to indicate the quality of hand-knotted rugs, referring to the density of knots in the rug. Hand-knotted rugs are made using cotton or silk threads, incorporating millions of knots. The number of knots is determined by the density and arrangement of knots per square inch.
Comparison of Fine Quality and Normal Quality Pakistani Rugs
Fine Quality
Fine Quality rugs possess a very high density of weaving, resulting in many excellent characteristics. First, the high density of fine weaving allows for the incorporation of delicate and intricate patterns. This results in patterns that are clear and vivid in detail.
Fine Quality Pakistani rugs contain 12 warp threads and 24 weft threads per square inch. This density ranks among the highest in Pakistani rugs. Additionally, Fine Quality rugs are characterized by their durability. The high-density weaving prevents debris from entering, enhancing durability and prolonging the life of the rug itself. They also feature high-quality wool sourced from New Zealand.
Normal Quality
On the other hand, typical Pakistani rugs are characterized by their softness and are generally thicker compared to Fine Quality ones. If you prefer a softer texture, this option is also recommended.
