Frequently Asked Questions

What is a hand-knotted rug?

A hand-knotted rug is made by tying individual knots by hand, row by row. It's the most labor-intensive technique and produces rugs with exceptional density, fine detail, and a distinctive texture.

Why are hand-knotted rugs more expensive?

Time. A single hand-knotted rug can take weeks or months to complete depending on size and knot density. The price reflects the skill and hours involved.

Can I customize the size or colors?

Yes. Every design can be made in any dimension and colorway. Standard options are available through the customizer. For exact measurements, contact our studio.

How long does shipping take?

Tufted rugs ship in 2 to 3 weeks. Knotted and woven rugs in 5 to 6 weeks. Every rug is handmade to order.

Hand Knotted Wool Rugs Made by Master Artisans

A hand knotted rug is the most labor-intensive textile you can own. Every single knot is tied by hand, row by row, on a vertical loom. There are no shortcuts, no machines assisting the process. A skilled artisan in Bhadohi, India, ties thousands of knots per day, and depending on the size and complexity of the design, a single Jubi rug can take anywhere from several weeks to several months to complete.

This is the craft that built the global rug trade, and Bhadohi has been its center for generations. Jubi partners directly with master weavers there, collaborating on distinctive modern designs that honor and extend traditional techniques rather than simply reproducing old patterns. The result is something rare: a rug that carries genuine craft heritage while looking entirely contemporary.

The Difference You Can Feel

Hand knotted construction produces a density and resilience that no other method can match. The Interval Hand-Knotted Wool Rug has a tight, structured pile that holds its form under heavy furniture and high foot traffic for decades. The Desert Matrix Hand-Knotted Wool Rug shows how intricate patterning is possible at a level of precision that tufting and machine-weaving cannot achieve.

Durability is the practical advantage, but the sensory experience is what sets hand knotted rugs apart. The pile has a weight and substance that is immediately noticeable underfoot. The wool — premium New Zealand wool, hand-selected and hand-spun before the knotting begins — has a natural luster and warmth that deepens over time. These are 100% wool rugs that feel better at year five than they do on day one.

Modern Design, Traditional Craft

Jubi's hand knotted collection spans a range of aesthetics, from the precise geometry of the Octagon Link Hand-Knotted Geometric Wool Rug to the more fluid movement of the Twilight Reflection Hand-Knotted Wool Rug. What they share is a clarity of design that lets the craft speak. When you see a geometric pattern executed in hand knotted wool, the slight variations from knot to knot give the piece a warmth and humanity that machine-made precision deliberately erases.

The Brown and Tan Checker Hand-Knotted Wool Rug is a good example of this principle: a familiar pattern made extraordinary by the process. Each color transition is the result of an individual decision made by the weaver, and that cumulative care is visible in the finished piece.

Caring for Your Hand Knotted Rug

Hand knotted wool rugs are among the easiest to maintain. Regular vacuuming without a beater bar keeps the pile clean, and wool's natural lanolin content repels moisture and staining. Blot spills immediately and have the rug professionally cleaned every few years. With proper care, a hand knotted rug will outlast nearly every other piece of furniture in your home.

Every design in this collection is available in custom sizes, shapes, and colorways — design your own through our online customizer or collaborate directly with our studio. Browse our full handmade rugs collection to see the complete range of Jubi's artisan-made offerings.
