A rug is a textile floor covering typically consisting of an upper layer of pile attached to a backing.
The pile was traditionally made from wool, but since the 20th century, synthetic fibres such as
polypropylene, nylon or polyester are often used, as these fibres are less expensive than wool. The pile
usually consists of twisted tufts that are typically heat-treated to maintain their structure. The term
carpet is often used in a similar context to the term rug, but rugs are typically considered to be smaller
than a room and not attached to the floor.
 Patterns add visual interest. Whether
you have a natural floral pattern or a
geometric one, they draw the eye
and give the room purpose. They
ground the design. Geometric
patterns bring a sense of the now
into your design. Here I have taken
the same inspiration for both the
rugs.

Developed on al large loom using a warp
thread (threading stretched from the top to
bottom of the loom) and weft thread
(stretched from the left to right side of the
loom). Rows of knots are then tied along the
warp & weft.
• Hand Tufted:
Individual threads are loaded into a tufting
gun and pushed through a canvas to create a
cut and/ or looped pile. a fabric backing is
then glued to the completed design to keep
the threads in place.
• Flatweave:
Tiny woven rugs that have no pile and so
they never shed. They are often reversible.
• Handloom Rugs:
Handloom Carpets are hand-knotted carpets
in three different styles. It is an alteration of
knots and wefts. Here the knots wrap around
the warps. Handloom carpets are one of the
most affordable types of rugs. They are

Materials Used:
Georgette Fabric-
Georgette is typically a plain weave fabric that is woven
using tightly twisted s-twist and z-twist yarns, which
are yarns twisted in opposite directions. These twists
create slight puckers on the surface of the fabric, which
gives Georgette its signature crinkled finish. To make
this product I have used old georgette sarees.

Techniques Used:
Knitting
Knitting is a method by which yarn is manipulated to
create a textile, or fabric. It is used to create many types
of garments. Knitting may be done by hand or by
machine.
