WARP
+ WEFT
The warp and Weft are the basic constituents
of all textiles, and are often
referred to as the foundation of the carpets
– the warp describes the strands
of Material that run length ways from top
to the bottom of the carpet and
forms fringes at the end, the weft runs width
way and forms the selvedges

THE
DESIGN SCRIPT & GRAPH:
The written language used in most of part of
the Oriental rugs making world employ scripts that
bear no resemblance to any of major languages in
the world. A designer design a graph of a carpet and
Taleem Writer (Script writer) write the design script
of the carpet as shown and weaver follow's the script
while weaving the rug as in the past, no photographs
has ever been used in oriental weaving, only the Ancient script used n traditional way. The
weavers must be matured and have knowledge of
mathematics and language to design such as kashan,
kirman,Gum, Hamdan,Qum, Guldan, Tree of life, Isfahan. |
