Flat weave area rugs are probably the most ancient of rugs. They are made by weaving a simple cloth in an intricate pattern and they have rich, vibrant colors. Rugs made with loomed threads have no pile or backing like knotted and tufted rugs. Since the pattern on each side of a flat weave floor covering is the same, flat weave rugs are generally lighter, softer, and more flexible.
Flat weave area rugs are usually made of jute, cotton, wool, sisal, and synthetic materials and have a special attraction for anyone who owns one. Flatweaves are comfortable to walk on and they have a unique appearance that can go with any décor. Rugs with flat weave constructions feel right at home anywhere, but fun things happen when they play with one another and combine to make beautiful blends, with design enhancements such as herringbone, tassels, and fringe.
