Woven Rug
Woven Rug St. Louis, MO. Perhaps more than any other features in your home, rugs have the ability to reflect history – to bring a cultural richness to any space. That may be due to the fact that few crafts have such a strong tie to their origins as a woven rug. In an age where processes, even arts, are increasingly automated, streamlined, and refined, it’s rare to see any area where people aren’t doing it faster and more efficiently. It’s unfortunate when it comes to the art of the woven rug, as speed and efficiency don’t always equal flawlessness.
The woven rugs at Rugs by Saga are just that: flawless. We have the largest collection of authentic woven rugs in St. Louis. Machine-made, power loom techniques have tried to simulate the ancient craft of handweaving rugs, but the shortcuts and shortcomings are evident. Thankfully, handwoven rugs continue to be highly sought after home additions.

Why Should I Buy a Woven Rug in St. Louis?
Woven rugs are one of the most popular types of rugs in the industry. They are also extremely comfortable and beautiful. Rugs are unquestionably the most important component in decorating your home and establishing the decor of a room or office. There are many advantages to incorporating a woven rug into your home, office, or event space, including:
- Increased value: Unlike factory- or machine-made rugs, our woven rugs only increase in value. A well-made rug contains 100-400 hand-tied knots per square inch (KPI), so it is built to last and will become increasingly rare. Other ways to check for quality, authenticity, and value include:
- Verifying the materials used
- Inspecting the dying materials
- Checking on symmetry of design pattern and backing
- Durability: Because our woven rugs are assembled with no glue or adhesives, these beauties will not decay like their machine-made counterparts and will withstand decades in high-traffic areas like the living room or entryway of your home.
- Easy Maintenance: Handwoven rugs are made with natural materials, meaning you can easily keep your prized possession looking brand new for generations to come.
- Eco-Friendly: No chemicals or synthetic fibers and dyes are used to make woven rugs. They are 100 percent organic and pose no threat to your health.

How Can I Tell If a Rug is Woven?
The key to knowing if a rug is woven is to look at the back. A handmade, woven rug will have weaving and knots that are slightly different and not uniform. You might see some knots that are larger than others. Each knot will be individual, meaning if you cut one, only a single piece of thread would come out.
Will My Woven Rug Fade?
You will not see fading in our woven rugs. A large part of the rug-making process is the superior dying process and materials used to make the rugs. The yarn is washed several times and, upon completion of the woven rug, that same washing process is used. The very nature of handmade rugs gives them a unique pattern that includes variations in color, shades, and hues. These variations, not fadings, are known as abrash, meaning rainbow or spectrum in Farsi.
Can I Vacuum My Woven Rug?
Never use the base of your vacuum to clean woven rugs. Use an add-on tool that does not spin and move from side-to-side when removing dirt and debris. Also, never use the beater brush. It will inevitably reduce the pile each time and take years off of your woven rug’s lifespan.
How Do I Clean My Woven Rug?
Because woven rugs are made from natural materials, they can be spot cleaned with a gentle, natural solution when stained. Try to clean spills as soon as they happen. Following these steps can remove common stains from your woven rug:
- Create a solution consisting of a teaspoon of mild detergent, a teaspoon of white vinegar, and two quarts of warm water.
- Dip a cotton cloth in the solution and gently blot the stain.
- Repeat the blotting until the stain is removed.
- Dry the area with a clean towel.
Do I Need a Rug Pad?
In just about every circumstance, a quality pad should be used under your woven rug to help prevent it from wear and slippage. Our woven rug specialist will be happy to provide you with the correct padding. Give us a call at 636-227-8555 or contact us. The best rug pads are made from all-natural materials that can withstand wear and tear, just like your new carpet. A few things to look for in a high-quality pad:
- 100 percent wool felt
- Natural rubber
- Natural fibers, like jute
