Hand-woven is a broad term that refers to traditional rug construction made by interlacing yarn on a loom, such as in flatweave, Dhurrie, Soumak, Kilim, or natural fiber rugs. This process allows the vertical yarns to be woven through horizontal yarns, resulting in carpets with no pile. A carpet backing is usually not created but may be added to natural fiber rugs, depending on the quality. Hand-woven rugs are popular, durable, and effortless.
