How is a carpet made?
Sheep’s wool, particularly from the shoulders and neck, known as cork wool, is the primary material in carpet making.
Post-shearing, weavers select the wool, differentiating sheep’s hair from wool upon close examination. The thread is then segregated to achieve uniformity.
The wool is river-washed, dried, and combed using a sharp instrument to detangle the fibers before spinning.
Dyeing is an art form. Wool threads are repeatedly submerged in a dye-filled container until a uniform shade is achieved.
Weaving commences thereafter. Carpets are woven on vertical or horizontal looms using a hook-shaped knife, a comb to solidify the weft and rows of knots, and scissors for pile cutting.
Weavers typically use a design card as a reference.
Upon completion, the carpet is washed to remove excess dye and dirt, then sun-dried to stabilize the colors.
