Rugs are a great way of decorating any place either using them on the floors or using them to décor the walls is always an excellent idea. All these things are still secondary; the primary things which matter are the internal factors which are being used to make the rug completely wonderful.
Techniques And Materials Required To Make The Rug
The quality of anything we are purchasing matters a lot to us, after all so much money is being spent on a thing so it has to be of a perfect quality so that we don't find our money to be wasted. Same thing applies with the purchasing of rugs; nobody wants a bad quality rug. The quality of rug comes from the materials being used to make the rug. The techniques used to complete the rug and give it a great touch of beauty also matters a lot. Generally sheep's wool is used to make the rugs, as its light, get dyed easily and very durable. The hair-camel is very rarely used. Cotton is also used to make an excellent attractive knotted pile carpets.
Colour Dependency On The Rug
The first thing which is being noticed in anything we purchase is the colour of that thing, same is with the rug. The colour of the rug is really necessary because it's the first thing which decides the purpose of the rug usage. If the rug has to be used for a prayer meeting, then its style and colour would be more classic and dark. Whereas, if the rug has to be used in a kid's room, then the colour would be bright and shining as its for the kids who should be around beautiful colours. It has been psychologically proved that children who stay around shinning bright colours are high in concentration. So, the rug's colour really affects a lot.
The rug's colour, until the late nineteenth century was extracted from natural products only, commonly called natural dyes. Some were extracted from plants like indigo, madder, Genista, woad and sumac. These colours were improved with the addition of any natural chemicals called alum, which helped in fixing the colours with fibers. These colours are excellent except from the darker colours like dark brown or black which high oxide chemicals which decompose the fibers. Otherwise the natural dyes have worked excellently in the process of rug presentation. These natural colours are not at all harmful and give the carpet a great soothing beauty and well as great flair. All the colours are wonderful; there is a wide variety of brown rugs, maroon rugs, blue rugs, etc. The one chosen by you should totally complete your expectations.
Knotted Pile Carpets- Combining Beauty And Durability
Knotted piles carpets are made of silk and woven yarn also warp yarn. The use of silk is restricted because it's really expensive, but nothing else makes you produce such beautiful rugs like silk does. Weavers earlier used to make these knotted pile rugs by combining the beauty of colours from the natural products and the woven yarn, which also came to be known as weft yarns when used horizontally. Today there is a wide range of rugs from which one can select for themselves.
