Weaving of a carpet
Weaving of a carpet is understood as
interaction of strings of a basis and weft
and warp knots installed in this cloth base.
Such base consists of woolen, cotton, natural
silk strings and a yarn from pure wool or pure
silk.
The same materials, but of more friable
spinning, are also used for carpet pile. The
cotton yarn as mercerized cotton strings is
intertwined together with the pile for which
yarn from natural silk or pure wool is
commonly used.

These are different
kinds of hand woven Kilims.
All are made of pure
Newzealand or Egyptian lambs wool.

During centuries the
technology of weaving of carpets did not
change. The only difference is that nomads
had more primitive machine tools, and
manufactory factories are more perfect.
Nomads' machine tool is arranged simply from
two sticks oriented parallel and mounted on
the ground by pegs on which strings of a
basis are tense. Such horizontal machine
tool easily can be transferred from a place
on a place, that at a nomadic way of life it
is necessary.
