The art of making rugs the Tibetan style is an ancient art in the Tibetan tradition. There are made from the virgin wool of special types of highland sheep found in Tibet. In Tibet, people use these rugs for almost all types of domestic use ranging from using them as saddle for horses to wall hangings or the most conventional use of them all, which is simply flooring.
The process of making Tibetan rugs is highly unique because mostly everything about them is meticulously handmade. With the advent of Modern technology, machines have taken over a few rug making aspects, mainly, due to cost cutting and the gradually increasing lack of knowledge. A few of the finishing touches can also be made by the machines.
