How are oriental carpets produced?

Purists agrees with the oriental carpet refers to the one that has been manually suspended or woven, not a machine from any number of countries. These include China, India, Tibet, Persia, Turkey, Nepal, Afghanistan and Pakistan in Asia and Morocco and Algeria in North Africa.

To create such a carpet, we need a weaving state, which is a large wooden frame with evenly spaced pins on long parallel beams. More people use vertical state above horizontal, flat. Then, when mapping traditional design, you would decide on the edge of the carpet, peak and other patterns in the "field" or background. Once you were shooting and coloring all the colors of wool, silk or even yaks, you can start weaving. The card consists of a cord of cotton over the upper and lower pins of the weaving of weaving. For stand-up weaving weavers runs up and down. The tangle is another set of strings, running perpendicular to the warp, which visited Aznov and out of the warp. In a kilim or a flat carpet creates a weft design with thatabout the weave. But in the tied carpet, Woof creates a more complicated formula from the individual nodes of the wave -supplied to the warp. Over the centuries, this basic technology has not changed.

The closure process is the most complex and time -consuming. Knom may take months, with five workers producing 6,000 nodes a day! After the original design and the work from bottom to top, you would build a number of knots in different colors. Between these lines, the wefts hold nodes in place and strengthens the carpet. Finally, you would have an uneven rectangular surface of millions of knots.

You level the surface by cutting the knots to the same height and creating a flexible, soft pile. Then the carpet can be liberated from its weaving outlet from the pegs. These chains are often tied and left as a well -known lined edge. Finally, you would wash your carpet and stretch it to make a fresh look.

Although machines can create carpets that resemble SkutenAll oriental carpets, only loops and fiber tissues to mimic the real knots. Machine carpets also often use lower materials than silk, cotton or wool, such as Rayon and other synthetic fibers, which sellers often try to pass on as authentic.
