What is a flat weave?
1 Answer
A flat weave is a weaving technique in which wool or any other material is woven around warp thread pairs. When the rug is finished, these fibers form the entire surface. Unlike the conventional backing or pile seen on other rugs, the backing formed by weaving threads on a loom features a pattern that is reversible on both sides. A flat weave rug is created without any knots at all. Shop the vintage collection of flat weave rugs on 1stDibs.
