carpet weaving

Carpet weaving is the craft of creating rugs through the intricate process of knotting or interlacing threads onto a foundation made of warp and weft. Skilled artisans select and cut fibers—such as wool, silk, or synthetic materials—and meticulously knot or weave them into desired patterns and designs. The process involves designing, preparing the loom, and patiently constructing the carpet layer by layer. Techniques vary by region and style, resulting in diverse textures, motifs, and cultural expressions. The finished carpet combines artistry and craftsmanship, serving both functional and decorative purposes.
