The loom is prepared for weaving a hand knotted rug by setting two rows of warps that are stretched vertically and closely from the top of the loom, to bottom. The rug progresses as knot after knot of woolen yarn on the warps, is tied.
After a row is woven, a cotton thread is put between the two rows of warps and is hammered down. This is the first weft which gives the rug its body. A second weft interlocks the warps across each row to keep the knots in place. These are then beaten down to ensure they stay even. This is repeated until the rug is entirely woven.
