The demand for oriental rugs has increased dramatically in recent years. Many owners now put more value on their rugs as works of art than as floor coverings, and current prices reflect their status.

Anyone who can learn needlecraft can acquire the necessary skills.

- assess damaged areas
- understand rug structure
- select yarn
- reknot
- reconstruct warp and weft
- use patches
- repair selvage and edges
- repair ends and flatweaves
- wash rugs, remove stains, and carry out general maintenance
