Actual Construction |
|
 Once drawn, a design is plotted on a graph paper, each square representing an individual knot. A foundation of cotton string called Warps (vertical threads) are tied to the top and bottom of the loom. A Tibetan knot is made by using a temporary rod along the width of the carpet that is placed in front of the warp. Weaving occurs when the thread is wrapped around two warp threads and then around the rod. When the weaver is done with the entire row of knots, the loops around the rod are cut to create the knot. Washing, clipping, color sorting & stretching are a few of the finishing stages. |
