5. Our Favorite Oriental Weavers Collections
Oriental Weavers was started in 1979 by Mohamed Farid Khamis in 10th of Ramadan, Egypt. Khamis, a native of Egypt, had worked with local rug companies as a young adult, and sought to bring the style, history, and tradition of Egyptian decoration beyond international borders. He succeeded, to say the least, as his company has since grown to be the world’s largest worldwide woven machine made rug company, helping people around the globe find their inner artist through a collection of diverse rugs that continues to grow every day.
To this day, Oriental Weavers is creating new raw material production plants daily in both Egypt and the U.S. in order to keep the innovation coming and Egypt's long textile tradition flowing. Mr. Khamis' goal of sharing the Egyptian tradition, while setting the trends of modern design lives on, making Oriental Weavers a one stop shop for beautiful rugs.

Oriental Weavers has always been transparent in how it makes its rugs, as understanding the basics is essential to the integrity of the product. Continue reading to gain a basic idea of how they make their rugs, and in turn, how they save you money.
By using what is called the face-to-face Wilton method for machine made rugs, production plants are able to weave two carpets together side by side, reducing both the cost and time of creating a single rug. Side weaving is another important method in creating Oriental Weavers' trademark rugs, which enables over 50 colors to be included in a single rug while creating a soft and durable surface much quicker than top-to-bottom weaving. Machine Woven rugs are a less expensive, and time efficient way to explore the traditions that Oriental Weavers was created to deliver.

Hand made rugs are usually made from the weaving, tufting, or hand hooked method. This usually entails threading a string of yarn into a primary backing, then needles are inserted through the backing to hold the yarn in place. A secondary backing is then added to ensure increased strength and durability into each rug. While hand making a rug is often a longer process than machine production, what better way to continue the tradition of creation than ensuring that each rug is a unique expression of love and care?

Oriental Weavers offers both machine made and hand crafted rugs, making a variety of products available to a large network of customers. Materials used in these rugs range from wool to polypropylene.
Polypropylene is a resilient, breathable, and easy to form material that is simple to clean and resistant to insects, pet hair, and other pests. It is the most common material in most machine made Oriental Weavers rugs due to its durability and wool-like feel. Polypropylene brilliantly retains the softness of hand made rugs at a lower price.

Along with Polypropylene, nylon is a common material in most machine made area rugs. It is stain resistant, durable, and low in moisture absorbency, providing a rich, full appearance, and a soft, comfortable place to step that will save you money, and time spent cleaning it.

Wool is natural, comfortable, and more than capable of bringing the beauty back into your home. Its softness and delicate, plush nature will last for years to come, with the longevity of its colors just as prominent, creating the all around "go to" environmentally friendly material for many of Oriental Weavers' rugs.
