In simple terms, the wool pile is formed by weavers tying knots of woollen yarn around pairs of warp threads. The warp threads are the underlying foundation threads upon which the rug is made. The weaver tied knots in a row and then weaves wefts threads between the warps, then the next row can be knotted. Row-by-row the pattern forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's it made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs has already been mentioned, this hand-knotted Kazak rug has a pile made from wool.
