Lori weavers are known for making flatwoven rugs mostly for personal use. Some weavers use an extra weft for their flatwoven designs similar to the SOUMAK styles from the CAUCASUS region. Pile rugs are also woven, most with the Turkish (symmetric) knot, although some occasionally are made with Persian (asymmetric) knots.<ref>Moheban, 2015, p.351</ref>

Lori designs are geometric, with tribal influences from Kurdistan and Turkmenistan. Lori rugs generally have an allover pattern featuring diamond-shaped lozenges with or without * Hook motifs, as well as horizontal and vertical stripes, Turkmen Gul (flower), Shrub, Star, and S motifs, and leaves, animals, birds, flower heads, and other tribal motifs. Tribal movements and intermarriages among tribes resulted in design combinations.<ref>Moheban, 2015, p.351</ref>
