Shopkeepers repair the goods in the store. Recently in Iran, put into production carpet cleaning, dyeing and spinning machines, beware of imitations! Units should be smooth and orderly arrangement of them. If you look at the seamy side of the carpet handmade pattern and color will be clean. This compares favorably with the carpet carpet machine work, which has blurred the picture.
11. Few mend and will be like new! In Iran, there are two methods of carpet: the Turkish and Persian. Turkish rugs are woven by a needle hook. According to the method of Persian knots tied inside by hand. Carpets made by the Turkish method, firmer texture. It depends on how the knots, which is different from the Persian.

After this operation, the wool is washed in pure water and hung to dry. The dyes obtained from the roots of the madder, shell walnuts, grape leaves, stalks of asparagus, peel pomegranates from cochineal, sour milk.

It consists of longitudinal threads arranged close to each other (the quality of the carpet depend, among others, and on the density and thickness of the yarn). These threads are tied woolen tufts that form the pile of the carpet. When a number of nodes across the width of the carpet completes introduces additional transverse thread (usually cotton) to give the nodes and all product strength and shape. This process is repeated row after row until then, until it has all the pile of the carpet. Then comes the last part of the operation: haircut cloth. It should be shorn over the entire length to the thickness of the volume woolen yarns. Thus, a dense, thick pile. From the density of nodes depends on the clarity of the picture.
