This is a very important question before you buy a carpet. If you don't know much about carpets then it's difficult to identify the difference between handmade carpets and machine made carpets.

Handmade carpets- Handmade carpets are woven carpets which are woven on special type handlooms. This is the most ancient technique to weave rug. The sizes of looms depend on the size of carpet and weaving is done from bottom to top. It's take many months to complete a single carpet. Time duration depends on size and designs. The weavers insert knots (yarn) in the loom and then tied by hands this is called pile. It has very high durability. You can usually use it minimum 40 years.

Machine made Carpet -: This is made by a large machine which is called power looms. The power looms are electrically automated and controlled by computers. This is less expensive as compare to handmade carpets. The durability of machine carpet is less than 20 years. Machine made carpets are made in wool with nylon, acrylic etc.
