Handmade carpets are not only a decoration ornament in your house but also an investment that comes with prestige, quality and durability. Here at Yak Carpet, we appreciate how customers select a handknotted carpet and never take it lightly. Hopefully, using the following five criteria below as a guide, you can make a better decision when purchasing a high quality handknotted carpet.

Material Quality

Handknotted carpets vary in texture, durability and physical appearance depending on the material. At Yak Carpet, we offer only authentic pure natural fibers such as wool and silk. Talking about wool, it holds the qualities like softness and the colour vibrancy combined with the fact that it will not fray easily. Meanwhile, silk gives off a glaze and intricate designs that make life to other rooms or areas.

When purchasing a handknotted carpet, one should inquire more about the origin of the materials. Fine quality wool from the Newzealand is a favourite for producing carpets because of its strength and shine. This knowledge will help determine that the carpet is durable and must therefore be capable of standing up to the test.

Knot Density & Weaving 

Knot density described in terms of knots per square inch (KPSI) is of prime importance in handknotted carpets. A higher KPSI fondly means denser weaves and narrower twist, or in other words more elaborate patterns and a more durable carpet. A fine carpet, more specifically the type provided with intricate graphics may hold a knot density of anywhere between 150 and over one thousand knots per square inch.

Another area is the type of weave employed in the making of the carpet also has an impact on the carpet’s sturdiness and feel. The looms at Yak Carpet use special techniques to sew each knot by hand, so together with beauty, the carpet is built effectively. Hand-knotting is also very thorough because when the weaver is hand-knotting the carpet, he or she is guaranteeing that the carpet will keep its shape as well as it will stand up to usage in the future.

Design and Aesthetic Appeal

A handknotted carpet is made especially for functionality and comfort, but it is also an accessory that should express your personality and fit in the house. The better handmade carpets have a complex pattern and bright colours that should definitely not dominate the space. Whether the customer is interested in Persian or the Turkish look and feel or a more contemporary, sleek and chic look, Yak Carpet reflects that heritage.

When selecting a carpet, consider the colours, designs and materials that will properly match your home decor. Handmade carpets are mostly produced with special themes that give a message.

Durability and Longevity

Actually, one of the fundamental aims of opting for a handknotted carpet is indeed its great staying power. The handknotting process makes the material very dense and is resistant to wearing out through regular walking or running and depreciates gracefully. Unlike machine made carpets, the handknotted ones age and get a beautiful sheen over the years and get more valuable.

High-quality handknotted carpets, if well maintained, can easily span over several decades in some rarest circumstances, even generations. When looking for a carpet, prospective buyers should find out how it will require care and how many years it will last. Our fine handknotted carpets are built to last a lifetime so they are perfect for any home as an investment.

Authenticity and Provenance

When it comes to creating handmade carpets, there’s nothing more important than the authenticity of the carpet. The origin of a carpet is associated with the quality and artistry of a carpet and its place in history. We work at Yak Carpet as a company for carpets that are manufactured with a certification proving that the carpet was produced without violations of the rights of the workers.

While looking for the handknotted carpet, one should not forget to inquire about the source of it and the makers of the specific item. A handmade carpet can be a piece that has been made traditionally passed on from generation, it can also be a carpet that has been made in one’s own country following the traditional ways of a few months down the line.
