Before you begin weaving your own Oriental rug, consider this. Rug weaving is an art. A skilled weaver in India can tie about 6,000 knots per day. Thus the time for one person to knot a 9′ x 12′ rug in several common qualities works out like this:
(Note that usually more than one person works at a time on rugs from about 4′ x 6′ and larger. To get the actual weaving time for a carpet, you’d need to divide the “Time required” shown here by the number of weavers working simultaneously on the rug).
| Quality | Knots/sq.in. | Knots/sq.ft. | Days/sq.ft. | Knots in a 9’ x 12’ Carpet | Time required to knot |
| “6/40” | 60 | 8,640 | 1.4 | 933,120 | 151 days (5 months) |
| “7/52” | 91 | 13,104 | 2.2 | 1,415,232 | 237 days (7.9 months) |
| “9/60” | 135 | 19,440 | 3.2 | 2,099,520 | 346 days (11.5 months) |
| “12/60” | 180 | 25,920 | 4.3 | 2,799,360 | 464 days (15.5 months) |
Remember that these estimates do not include the time needed to prepare the wool (for wool clipping, carding, spinning, and dyeing), to map the design (about 8 days for a 12/60 quality rug), or to wash and clip the finished carpet (more than 15 days for a 12/60 quality 9′ x 12′ carpet).
