Persian rug fringes: what they are and how to care for them

Why it matters

Fringes are the warp ends. Machine rugs often have sewn-on fringes; hand-knotted rugs don't.

Care

• Never vacuum fringes directly
• Comb gently with fingers
• Wash only with professional cleaning
• Secure worn ends with overcasting before knots loosen
