The Knot Journal Makes Rugs Legible
An independent reference library covering how rugs are made, identified, valued, bought, cleaned, repaired, and stored.
Field notes
The journal arranges its reference material around practical decisions rather than a generic chronological blog feed: size, fibre, price, identification, and care each open into broader sections. Its homepage lists 226 guides across 78 subjects, including explanations of hand-knotted construction, Persian rug regions, flatweave durability, and the limits of hand-tufted rugs. The publication also states that article sources appear at the foot of each guide and that corrections are dated where they occur.
