Tip of the Month - February Types of Knots
Looping the pile yarn through two warp strands, and then drawing it back through one form the Persian knot. The Persian knot is used in China, India, Pakistan and the Balkan countries, and most of Afghanistan and Persia. Its advantage is that it does not leave a gap between each knot, it is less bulky, and can make a finer design. A Turkish knot is formed by looping the pile yarn across two warp strands and then drawing each end back through the inside of both warps. It is used by the Caucasian and Anatolian weaving groups and in northwest Persia. Another knot, which is very inferior, is the Jufti knot. It is done by tying the yarn through four or more warp strands. This increases the speed in which the rug can be woven, but it is less compact and not as durable. If there are twice as many warps as there are knots, probably a jufti knot has been used. Caravan Connection of Newport would be happy to talk with you about Oriental Rugs.
