Woven rugs can be hand knotted or machine made.

In the United States we manufacture some very nice durable wool machined rugs, made by Karastan.
If you examine the above photos you'll notice the rugs pattern is visible on the backside of a woven rug whereas on a tufted rug the pattern is NOT visible at all.

Too often we see family heirloom rugs arrive in our wash facility with moth damage.
A piece of art built to last 100 years damaged or destroyed in a manner of weeks by a pesky little bug.

This bug at maturity is a yellowish beige in color and just less than a half inch in size.
