Quality and Features of Pakistani Rugs

Pakistani rugs are known for their special luster. Many rugs use New Zealand wool. These rugs have a silk-like sheen, yet the material is purely wool, with a high knot density and exceptional durability. Various qualities of wool are used in Pakistani rugs, often primarily red, but other colors are also employed.

The quality of Pakistani rugs is categorized into 'Fine' and 'Normal.'

Features of Fine

Fine rugs are woven with very high density and possess many excellent characteristics. Due to the fine weaving and high density, they can depict intricate and delicate patterns, which appear clear and vivid. The high knot count prevents debris from entering, enhancing durability and extending the rug's lifespan.

On the other hand, regular Pakistani rugs are characterized by their softness and are generally thicker compared to fine ones.
