Just natural materials. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe weavers have used wool to make the piled surface of the rug. Afghan wool is remarkable for it's durability, plus it feels luxurious underfoot. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cotton element, forms the foundations of the rug. These are the warp threads. The warp threads are important because these are the first yarns to be attached to the loom before the weaving begins. They run the length of the loom, and are what the knots are tied onto. On a handmade rug, you can see the warp threads as they become the rug's fringes when it has been finished. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow was this Afghan rug made?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Patchwork designed rug was handmade in Afghanistan. This imaginative Afghan rug was made by an ancient carpet weaving technique called \"hand-knotting\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach individual tuft of pile is formed by a knot. The knot is tied onto pairs of warp threads, and the knots are tied in rows. After each line of knots, weft threads are woven and compacted against the knots. And this is repeated over and over until the rug is completed. The individual knots combine together to make the design and pattern of the rug. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere you can use this Patchwork rug in your home\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe beauty of this rug is that it was especially made like this, in one complete rug.
