How To Differentiate Between Handmade And Machine Made Carpets?
Machine made carpets are power loomed on machines and are mass-produced. Best way to tell whether a rug is machine made or handmade is to look at the fringe. On a machine made rug, the fringe is usually just attached or sewn at the back, while a handmade rug is made with the fringe as its foundation and it is a part of the rug. Secondly, machine made rugs will be perfect, while the handmade rug will show many flaws including slight crookedness, inconsistency in the design and other mistakes. Machine made rugs are usually made of synthetic materials but there are wool rugs also available.
