GHIORDES RUGS
One of the best styles of Turkish hand-made rugs. Some are all wool, and others have wool ground and silk pile in very close weave and gorgeous designs. The pile is tied with the Ghiordes knot. Some modem rugs have cotton ground and long loose wool pile in many colours. The early fabrics were mostly prayer rugs.
