    Carpet weaving is pure craftsmanship, can't imagine the hardwork it takes to wave one by hand with such detailed and intricate designs. No wonder it was for the kings and thanks to machines now everyone can afford these.

    There are so many wonderful videos on identification, cleaning and even videos which show the above process in much less detail and the lightning fast hands of a master weaver. Thank you SO much for this lucid explanation of the entire process. The only thing missing might be which hook / knife tool to use when.

    • @persianweavers2820
      @persianweavers2820  Рік тому

      Thank you for your kind words. Frankly, since i have thick fingers, i use it for both Persian and Turkish knots. Typically they only use their fingers for Persian knots, while they hold a knife to cut the knot material (typically wool)after its tied. The Turkish knot is more involved and is much easier with the knife with the hook at the end. Note that both need a way to trim the wool after each knot is tied. Also, the tighter the weave, the thinner and closer the warps are which may be much easier with the hook to separate the warps and tie the knots. I hope this is helpful. 🙏

    • @persianweavers2820
      @persianweavers2820  2 роки тому +1

      Thank you for your kind words. I am using crewel and not worsted. The thickness will depend on the desired knots per square inch as you can imagine. Depending on how thick the wool is, perhaps 5-7 plies. You can experiment by just tying 10 to 20 knots and apply the weft and check the end result's thickness. I hope this is helpful. 🙏

  • @Erikscreen
    @Erikscreen 3 роки тому +1

    I was wondering how you determine the density of the warp-threads while warping the loom. The number of warps are dictated by the design you say, but is there a standard as what distance is set between the warp threads?

    • @persianweavers2820
      @persianweavers2820  3 роки тому +3

      As you can imagine there is no hard-fast rule, however a good rule of thumb is to leave a gap between each warp, the gap should be the size of a single warp thread. Imagine you have three warp strings laying right next to each other, if you eliminate the middle one you get exactly what i am talking about. The beauty is that the thicker your warp string you will automatically get more space. Wrap your warp string around a pencil several times and push the strings together and see how many it takes to get an each long. Divide that number in half an it will tell you approximately how to space your warps per inch across the loom. Please note that different areas may do it differently. Hope this answers more questions than it generates. 😀

      I was trying to literally duplicate a particular weave. So i built a jig using nails to make sure the warps had the exact distance. For example one of them was a weave with 7 knots per inch. That's the number you're seeing on the loom. So i needed 14 single warp strings per inch. Each knot of course takes two warps. So I spaced the nails accordingly.

      It depends on your design and how tight you wish your weave to be. Each knot has two warps. You can start from 5 knots per inch to as high as 10-12. You can find rugs with 20+. The same principle is true for a kilim or tapestry. The lower the number of warps per inch, the thicker your knot or weft material will need to be. 🙏

    Hi! This is an amazing introduction to rug weaving! I was wondering if I could ask you more questions privately. Would it be ok to share your email address or a website through which I can send you a message?

    Stop spreading misinformation. There are two types of knot one is correct the persian 1.5 knot and the second one is THE ARMENIAN DOUBLE KNOT and not the turkish who try to steal Armenian culture.

      I love your passion for your Armenian heritage! I am an Iranian who is also very proud of my culture. It is believed that the knot should actually be called Azari (Persian word) which i do in some of my videos. So calling it a "Turkish" knot is a reflection of the conventional wisdom for better or worse! Of all the books written on this subject, majority if not all call them Persian and Turkish knots. So i had to bend to conventional wisdom to not confuse the audience. In any case my ultimate goal was/is to promote the rug industry in Iran which unfortunately is slowly dying. Thank you for your patience and understanding. 🙏
