COMB TOOL
Usually made of wood and metal. It is used to pack together the knots and the weft in the rows after every row in the carpet has been tied. The comb is beaten up and down along the warp to secure the knots. his kind of comb is made entirely of metal and used in finer and more closely tied carpets, such as Isfahan and Nain.
LATEXING TOOLS
Latex In Handmade Rugs. There are no knots in a tufted rug. The yarn is pushed through the base fabric by hand with a punch tool. After the entire rug is filled in with these tufts, the back of the rug is coated with one or more layers of latex, then with the cloth backing. The loops are cut at this point.
SPINNING WHEEL
The charkha, or spinning wheel, was the physical embodiment and symbol of Gandhi’s constructive program. It represents Swadeshi, self-sufficiency, and at the same time interdependence, because the wheel is at the center of the network of cotton growers, carders, weavers, distributors, and users.
CLIPPING TOOLS
In the context of machining, a cutting tool is any tool that is used to remove material from the workpiece by means of shear deformation angle-point tools are used interning, shaping, planning, and similar operations, and remove material by means of one cutting edge.
EDGE BINDING TOOLS
Heavy-Duty Carpet Shears feature sharp steel blades for precisely cutting stained or damaged fibers and the wide blade design helps ensure level cutting. The shears are shaped so as to assist with leveling and trimming carpet seams.
FINISHING TOOOLS

TUFTING GUN TOOL
The pile of tufted carpets is formed by tufts inserted into a backing with needles. Tufted carpets differ basically from traditional types because they have a pre-woven backing into which the tufts are inserted. One unconventional method of making carpet involves the forming of piles on knitted structures.
COTTON
The yarn is a raw material produced from the fibres, which is used for making fabrics or textiles. Cotton yarn is produced from a group of filament or staple fibres twisted together. It is used most commonly in the foundation of the rug rather than its pile or flat-woven facing. Cotton can, however, be used for the pile or flat-woven facing of rugs

REAL SILK
Silk rugs are created by hand weaving silk fibres – often no thicker than a strand of hair – into intricate patterns. The knot count for a silk rug can exceed 1,500 knots per square inch! They are thin and incredibly pliable, finely crafted and woven, and incredibly comfortable. Real silk rugs have a telltale sheen.
TENCIL
Tencel is 99% decomposed wool pulp from tree farms. Along with being a great sustainable material, it is a breathable fiber that is 50% more resistant to mold than cotton or wool. Furthermore, it is a natural anti-bacterial fabric which makes it the healthiest plant fiber among carpet fabrics.
VISCOSE
Viscose, in its various forms, is increasingly used in rugs and carpets of multiple qualities. It can imitate the look and texture of wool, cotton, linen, and silk though most often in rugs it is the latter; it can be dyed and does not insulate heat which leaves the hand of viscose cool to the touch.
BAMBOO SILK
Bamboo silk is a natural viscose fiber derived from bamboo cellulose. It offers a silky sheen, soft texture, and eco-friendly appeal. Commonly used in high-end rugs, bamboo silk replicates the elegance of real silk while being more affordable. Like viscose, it is best used in gentle-use spaces due to its delicate nature.
POLYSTER
Polyester is a synthetic fiber known for its durability, stain resistance, and vibrant color retention. In rugs, it offers a soft texture with a subtle sheen and is often used in budget-friendly or easy-care collections. It’s ideal for high-traffic areas and homes with kids or pets due to its resilience and easy maintenance.
P.E.T.
P.E.T. yarn (Polyethylene Terephthalate) is a sustainable synthetic fiber made from recycled plastic bottles. It’s strong, water-resistant, and ideal for both indoor and outdoor rugs. P.E.T. yarn offers a wool-like softness, vibrant color retention, and is highly durable—making it an eco-friendly and practical choice for busy households.
