Contemporary wool area rugs are fabulous designs including flowers, stripes, bold and bright colors that make any room sparkle. The sales of contemporary wool area rugs have increased dramatically in the past few years, and manufacturers have done everything to keep up with the demand. With the rise of popularity of these modern rugs comes a handful of designers that are outstanding in their work. These include Bev Hisey, who creates wild, botanical patters from leather and wool felt rugs. Emma Gardner is known for her work with hand-knotted florals and Linda Belden designs beautiful wool rug patterns.

Contemporary wool ares rugs are usually either hand knotted or hand tufted. The difference between hand knotted and hand tufted is that with hand tufted a small machine or “gun” is used to insert the yarn into a backing for additional texture. Normally when comparing hand knotted rugs the more knots per square inch the more valuable the rug.

Currently, contemporary wool area rugs are manufactured in a number of countries. These countries includes US, China, India, Belgium, Bulgaria, Spain and other countries. Take note that some of the contemporary wool areas rugs made in the US are machine made instead of hand tufted or hand knotted.
