Once the raw wool is cleaned from the sticks, it is spun into yarn
-
Before the yarn is dyed, it is first cleaned to remove the dust and grease thoroughly. The washed yarn is dried in the sun for two to three days
-
The used dyes are created using precise combination to generate the exact color
-
To allow the dye to work its way into the yarn, it is heated to a near-boiling temperature for a specific period of time
-
The dyed yarn is then put out in the sun to dry
-
The yarn is left outside in the sunlight until it is completely dry
-
When the yarn is completely dry, it is collected to begin the weaving process
-
The yarn spinning process occurs over many types of machines until the yarn becomes twisted and strong enough
-
To begin the weaving phase, the yarn is fixed on a loom rack, it is looped tightly between the top bar and the bottom bar of the loom rack
-
Using loom racks, the yarn is weaved knot-by-knot using a knotting technique
-
The density of the warps is the key to the quality of the carpet and with more warps, the design will be clearer and the colors will be vivid
-
Typically, two weavers will work on one rug together during the weaving process
-
Once the weaving phase is over, small details will be added before trimming the rugs
-
A special machine is used to shave and level the rug across its entire width and length
