Some fine Hand Knotting in Handmade Rugs

The artwork done in hand-knotted rugs is one-of-a-kind. Thousands of knots tied together by skilled weavers with hundreds of hours of labor invested finally result in the handmade rugs that endear. Perhaps this should be an appropriate reason behind the high price tag of the rugs.

Handmade rugs are made on large looms. The vertical looms are used extensively from start to finish for weaving these rugs. The weaver ties the warp threads vertically on the loom. The threads are woven one by one, slowly through the warp. They hold the rug together, forming the edges of the sides of the rug. The weft threads are consistently added with the knots being hand tied to the warp threads. After completion, the top and bottom warp threads get trimmed and form the fringe of the handmade rugs.  

There are many visible knots in handmade rugs. The hand tied knots are used on the pile and design of the carpet. Persian Knots are used in carpets woven in countries such as Tibet, China, Pakistan, Nepal, India, Iran, Afghanistan etc. Also known as the Senneth Knot, Persian Knots are used extensively in designs with curves on them. The knot suffices for more complex and compound patterns.

Then there are the Turkish Knots. These are mainly used in highly conservative Islamic Countries like Turkey, Armenia and Azerbaijan. The knots are also known in popular culture as Ghiordes Knots, or double knots. It is supposedly a bulkier knot in comparison to its Persian counterpart and produces a richer pile.

The Jufti Knots on Handmade Rugs are ones tied on the warp thread. These get tied around 4 warp threads instead of 2 usually with Persian or Turkish. The rugs tied with these knots are usually less expensive, for they take a lot of time to make but do not wear as well as the others.

The tools to weave these carpets are an institution themselves. There are 3 of them mainly. The Gollab is in the shape of a hooked knife, meant to pull weft threads through the warp. The Comb, also called the Beater, comes into play when weft rows get added one after the other to snug the rows of the weft and knots together, forming a tight weave. The Scissors, the last of the 3, is used for hand cutting and clipping the threads from the knots evenly.

Ultimately it all comes down to the skill of the weaver. It is all in the hands, for that is the source from where the craftsmanship originates. The magnificence of the carpet in which the buyer revels is all a result of the toil, endeavour and slog undertaken by the weaver who pushes relentlessly hour after hour to finally create a piece worth selling.

Advices for the purchase of the hamster and the cage

The proper position of the hamster cage

The right choice of the hamster cage location could essentially contribute to his normal development and good disposition. By all means, you should find a place under the lee where there is no draught and the cage is not directly exposed to the sun. The bright light will not only irritate the animal when he is in half sleeping condition and leaves his shelter for a short with closed eyes, but the sunbeams will warm his sleeping house more than it needs.

You also shouldn’t keep the hamster near heating devices – the too warm and dry indoor air during the winter season is not healthy for him.

We recommend the golden hamster to be breed in indoor temperature between 19-23 ° while the mini hamsters feel better at 18-21 °. The considerably low temperatures hamper the activity of the hamsters. Then they withdraw into their house-bedroom where in the thick nest they take care alone about the warmth and cosiness they need.

Also you shouldn’t keep a T.V. or a radio next to the hamster which are always turned on. The hearing of the hamster is very is so acute that he could get into a panic with a high irritability.

If you conform with all these small matters, for you will be easy to enjoy the fresh stir of the hamster in one quiet corner.

Advices for the purchase of the hamster

If you do not have any friend that can give you a hamster from his litter, you could acquire your favourite pet from almost every zoo shop during all times of the year. Today, the dwarf and Chinese hamsters are more and more distributed. Anyway, if you cannot find your race at the zoo shop you can always order him.

In your dream of breeding a hamster you should be critical in your purchase. Spare the time for it and do not be in a hurry. The late afternoon is the best time for hamster purchase because at this time of the day they brisker and could be estimated better and easier. Immediately after that during the time of the active period when the new home of the hamster is in a process of equipping you could start gaining his trust. In order to secure a healthy and smart animal at his purchase, you should consider the following important issues:

1)As a rule the tradesman keeps the animals in unwonted for hamsters strongly lighted crittertrail without any house in order the buyer to have a better look over them. Quite often they are huddled together for warmth and protection.

2)Ask the experienced tradesman to wake up all the hamsters and show it to you. Even animals that are woken up from a deep slumber at this time are supposed to lose their sleep and demonstrate their curiosity. The tail of the very little animals that looks bigger, in a healthy and mobile condition keeps standing. The eyes don’t have to be closed although the little organism of the hamster has been exposed to the stressful conditions of the environment just before minutes. While the healthy golden and mini hamsters with a smooth hair must have a shining fur, the fine, silk velvet fur-coat of the fluffy golden hamster should not look clotted and dry without any brilliance. All exceptions to this mean a bad nutrition and poor state of health.

3)The tiny and healthy excrements of the hamster are stiff and dry so the fur of his rump. If it isn’t so or even you notice any signs of diarrhea, you should completely decline buying the animal. In all probability all the hamsters are infected.

4)Closed eyes of the hamster, still more excreting secret, also should prevent us buying the pet. You are free to ask the tradesman about that. Good zoo shops keep to the requirements of hygiene and protection so you’d better find such place.

As a conclusion we want to give you one more advice of different nature.If you buy hamster for first time ask to show you how to keep him in your hands. Very often the little and very brisk hamster is extremely active and falls down from our inexperienced hands still while you examining and estimating him in the shop. Such a falling from above on the hard floor could easily wound the tender body of the hamster.

Persia, modern day Iran, is a land of mystique and folklore. People across the world are intrigued by the fascinating tales they have been told.

The Herati Medallion and Corner is a signature type in this line. Other designs include Boteh, Mina Khani, Zell-i-Sultan and Gul Firangi.            

The Ferahan Persian Rugs come in two different types. One has an all over layout, en endless repeat, motifs and designs like herati, gul hannai, mani kahni etc. The other type has a medallion layout. The medallions can be hug hexagonal layouts, diamonds, oval shapes and large pendants. The Isfahan Persian Rug is designed like a round medallion to resemble tile work done inside the interiors of a dome.  

Joshaghan Rugs get woven on cotton foundations with wood pile and Persian asymmetrical knots. The signature design in them comprises of geometrical floral motifs arranged in the shape of diamonds. Kerman carpets have a curvilinear shape, with quintessential Kerman pictorials on them. Their intricate designs often resemble caricatures. Lavar Mats have flowers plastered all over them. Mashads are home based looms woven with asymmetrical knots. They are famous for their elongated corners.              

Nain Mats are famous for being swiftly woven. They have detailed curvilinear designs. They have a striking similarity to Esfahan mats. Just that one gets to see more of bird motifs in Nains. The motifs in Qum Mats are famous for compartments with vases, pictorials, hunting scenes, botehs etc. Sarabs have geometric patterns, predominant long medallion layouts.

Sarouks come in Traditional and American types. The traditional ones have herati and gul hannai motifs and the American Style Sarouks are known more for disconnected floral sprays. The color body has red, blue, burnt orange, ocher, champagne etc. 

Tabriz pieces have shah abbassi medallion corners and islimi medallion corners on them. The palettes on them are as diverse as the designs on them. They are usually given a finishing with a silk foundation and wool pile. Colors used on the background and borders include pink, peach, camel, beige, ivory etc.         

Somewhere in these masterpieces, the Persia of old times still resides.

Lavar Kerman Rug

Rug Carpet Navy

What color rug would go with my living room?

I have a navy blue couch and love seat set and our walls are a beige, light tan-ish color. The carpet is a very light tan color (a little lighter than the walls). I want to put an area rug in the living room with my couch and love seat surrounding it and I just don’t like the idea of three navy blue items being that close together. So any other color than navy blue.
