Turkish Carpets

Turkish Carpets
TURKISH CARPETS
Hand woven on native looms. These consist of two posts fixed to form a vertical frame with a roller at the top and another at the bottom, the warp being stretched between. The pile is knotted on to the warp threads, the projecting ends of pile being trimmed to uniform length when the complete carpet is knotted. One or more picks of weft are inserted after each row of knotted tufts. The design is formed by using different colours of tuft yarn. Turkish hand-woven carpets are expensive, but the pile is very securely knotted and the carpets are very durable.
