Needlepoint rugs are rugs which are handmade and produced by stitching a design onto a large swatch of fabric canvas. By using different types of stitches, different patterns, textures and effects can be produced throughout the needlepoint rug. Needlepoint rugs tend to be smaller in size than other artisan rugs. Today, although there are a few countries which mass produce needlepoint rugs, authentic needlepoint rugs are still made using the traditional methods developed hundreds of years ago. Authentic needlepoint rugs are generally made of 100% wool or cotton materials.

Needlepoint rugs are not made using looms of any sort. Traditional needlepoint rugs are made by stitching the piece between two wooden rods. In this way, several needlepoint rug sewers can work from both sides to create a needlepoint rug, which speeds up the production time considerably. Needlepoint rugs from China are particularly popular today and are sought by importers and collectors worldwide.

Needlepoint rugs must be treated with care. Regular cleaning and other maintenance is absolutely necessary to maintain the beauty and value of the needlepoint rug. If you have noticed you're your needlepoint rug is less than pristine, or has lost its shape, then it is time to call in experts who know how to revive and restore your valued needlepoint rug.

A newly-crafted needlepoint rug is often formed in the shape of a parallelogram. It is blocked and sized to form a traditional rectangular shape. However, as the needlepoint rug ages, it contorts in an effort to return to its original, natural shape. Moisture from water damage or just normal washing can also cause a needlepoint rug to lose its blocking. Thus, needlepoint rugs require special care to insure that it continues to look its very best.
