Warp and weft: what are they? How do they influence the choice of a fine carpet?
Warp and weft are two fundamental components of the structure of hand-knotted carpets. They represent the two most important elements that make up any carpet. The finished product is in fact the result of the interweaving of the threads that make up these two parts. Visually analysing the warp and weft is important not only to choose the carpet but also to assess the quality of the specific piece.
