machineknotted

Machineknotted refers to textiles or rugs that have been produced using automated knotting machines. This manufacturing process allows for the creation of intricate patterns and designs with a high degree of precision and consistency. Unlike hand-knotted rugs, which are painstakingly crafted by artisans, machineknotted products are assembled through a mechanical process. This typically involves feeding yarn through a system of needles and combs that create knots on a warp. The speed and efficiency of these machines enable large-scale production, making machineknotted items generally more affordable and accessible than their hand-knotted counterparts. While they may not possess the unique variations and perceived artistic value of handmade pieces, machineknotted textiles offer durability, a wide range of design options, and consistent quality. The technology has advanced to the point where machineknotted products can closely mimic the appearance and feel of hand-knotted rugs, using various fiber types such as wool, nylon, or polyester. This method is widely employed in the manufacturing of carpets, area rugs, and other textile goods for both residential and commercial use.
