I cannot thank you enough for this useful tutorial. I have been searching a lot for a perfect tutorial that will explain how the heddle stick works and how to use it. Finally I have found this tutorial video. 💙💙
Wow, you are an excellent teacher! Seeing step by step in real time how rugs are made is soooo helpful. I want to make one from scratch :) Thanks so much!!
As a weaver of cloth, I found this so interesting because you have given such clear detail. I will look forward to examining the back of rugs with my new knowledge. Thank you for sharing
I have just found this video and wish to say how useful it is. Clearly explained, good details, excellent camera work. I am taking a short traditional carpet weaving course in a few months and this is a really helpful introduction which I am sure I will watch again and again.
Carpet weaving is pure craftsmanship, can't imagine the hardwork it takes to wave one by hand with such detailed and intricate designs. No wonder it was for the kings and thanks to machines now everyone can afford these.
Machines sure is blessing except for honest craft. Notice only hand made rugs keeps their value, everything else is practically worthless, after it has left the shop! 💸💸💸
Thank you so much for teaching us! I have just come back from Uzbekistan and went to see rugs being hand made but the weaver's hands went so fast it was impossible to see exactly how they did it. Thank you for the clear, slow motion instructions!❤
(not Iran! Persia) WOW you are a man of great skill. I hope you have someone to inherit the art; man I wish you could teach me thank you I watch your presentation 3 time now 🙏🙏🙏.
Thanks for your explanation, this is the most detailed video about weaving that I have found on internet so far. Information about rugs is rare, here in the Netherlands the interest in Persian and Oriental rugs is restricted to a small part of society.
Thank you for letting me know. Any help spreading the word would be greatly appreciated. Please make sure to check out my website also. Bofandeh. Com 🙏
I enjoyed every minute. I appreciate the even pace, concise explanations, and video quality. Thank you for the work you put into this video. Now I'm going to flip my rugs over to study the knot patterns.
I knew you learned English in the Southern United States. You have that Southern accent! This was a great video! Thank you so much for presenting it so clearly. I had an Iranian friend who had some beautiful rugs, and I was fascinated by the skill used in weaving them.
Oh my goodness. Your explanation is so thorough, meticulous, clear. Helps a lot in visualizing the process. The demonstrations, showing front and back, the way to separate every other warp, all the involved and fascinating steps just to make the base, the foundation, all are so clear and helpful. Thank you. Great voice for teaching, too.
Thank you so much for this incredible instruction! Is this the same loom that you teach us how to build in your other video? Do you have any guidance on how to build a loom to hand-knot rugs up to 16x24 inches? Thank you so much!
If you want to build a loom to handle larger rugs, please check out this book. He does a wonderful job of providing details you'll need. It also includes some nice rug designs. Good luck An illustrated guide to making oriental rugs by Gordon W Scott
There are so many wonderful videos on identification, cleaning and even videos which show the above process in much less detail and the lightning fast hands of a master weaver. Thank you SO much for this lucid explanation of the entire process. The only thing missing might be which hook / knife tool to use when.
Thank you for your kind words. Frankly, since i have thick fingers, i use it for both Persian and Turkish knots. Typically they only use their fingers for Persian knots, while they hold a knife to cut the knot material (typically wool)after its tied. The Turkish knot is more involved and is much easier with the knife with the hook at the end. Note that both need a way to trim the wool after each knot is tied. Also, the tighter the weave, the thinner and closer the warps are which may be much easier with the hook to separate the warps and tie the knots. I hope this is helpful. 🙏
Very well explained, thank you. Only one thing i don't quite know yet. Which yarn to use for the knots? With the yarn i used, the result turned out to look quite cheap...
You need to use good quality wool. Here are some sources for weaving materials and tools: yarnbarn-ks.com, yarn.com, halcyonyarn.com, homesteadweaver.com, woolery.com, hmnabavian.com, and woolythread.com
Thank you for making this video. It is very hard to find any detailed information about making a knotted carpet. I am having trouble finding the correct wool to use because in Canada all of our wool is very soft and doesn't have much sheen or coarseness to it. I managed to find some from a carpet store in Vancouver, but the price was very high. Any idea where to find a good supply of carpet yarn.
Fascinating. Persian rugs are works of art indeed. I have a rigid heddle loom, so I might try this. Interesting that you showed how your loom was set up - I think I could have saved myself some money and built my own.
Thank you so much, this was the best video explanation. Hope you make many more videos in different types of knot and where they come from and how to recognize them and how to determine the age. Please recommend books and other way to learn. Thank you again.
You can find more videos on my website bofandeh.com. Also i have written a book on this topic you may find interesting. Here's a link to more videos on how to make a kilim. bofandeh.com/2021/04/10/how-to-weave-a-kilim-introduction/ I hope you will find these helpful. 🙏
Thank you! Great slow detailed instruction. Strangely I searched topic because I found the most awesome rug cleaning channel, very relaxing to watch process and these beautiful old rugs come to life. Watching videos of traditional weavers knotting at lightning speed did not help me understand :) I’m still amazed by the beautiful patterns that are possible and some memorized…
Many thanks for your wonderful video, it answered many questions I had about the weaving process, it is amazing to me that so much time goes into these beautiful creations , some may consider them expensive but to me they are way underpriced as pieces of art! Best wishes!
Thank you for your kind words. I am using crewel and not worsted. The thickness will depend on the desired knots per square inch as you can imagine. Depending on how thick the wool is, perhaps 5-7 plies. You can experiment by just tying 10 to 20 knots and apply the weft and check the end result's thickness. I hope this is helpful. 🙏
Theres a lot of Algebra and Geometry in this technique of rug weaving. This is not a hobby! Its an ART & a SCIENCE! Thanks you for sharing. I would gladly pay you the thousands of $$$$ than keep scratching my head trying to remember which row i am in 😅 Thanks again.
There's an old Persian (Iranian) saying; no matter when you catch a fish, it's always fresh! I hope someday you'll get a chance to make your own rug. 🙏
I was wondering how you determine the density of the warp-threads while warping the loom. The number of warps are dictated by the design you say, but is there a standard as what distance is set between the warp threads?
As you can imagine there is no hard-fast rule, however a good rule of thumb is to leave a gap between each warp, the gap should be the size of a single warp thread. Imagine you have three warp strings laying right next to each other, if you eliminate the middle one you get exactly what i am talking about. The beauty is that the thicker your warp string you will automatically get more space. Wrap your warp string around a pencil several times and push the strings together and see how many it takes to get an each long. Divide that number in half an it will tell you approximately how to space your warps per inch across the loom. Please note that different areas may do it differently. Hope this answers more questions than it generates. 😀
@@persianweavers2820 can I just ask one more thing: what distance have been setting between the nails used to hold the warp? I can see some numbers written on it but dun't really understand it. I'm just curious :)
I was trying to literally duplicate a particular weave. So i built a jig using nails to make sure the warps had the exact distance. For example one of them was a weave with 7 knots per inch. That's the number you're seeing on the loom. So i needed 14 single warp strings per inch. Each knot of course takes two warps. So I spaced the nails accordingly.
@@persianweavers2820 Great, thank you! One last (I think) question: What kind of yarn do you use? Are there any special properties that is preferred when making a rug?
Obrigada por explicar tão bem 👏👏👏 foi o primeiro vídeo que achei depois de vários e vários que assisti, que realmente explica como manusear esse método de tecer. Muito obrigada por compartilhar 😍💕
It depends on your design and how tight you wish your weave to be. Each knot has two warps. You can start from 5 knots per inch to as high as 10-12. You can find rugs with 20+. The same principle is true for a kilim or tapestry. The lower the number of warps per inch, the thicker your knot or weft material will need to be. 🙏
Is there an application/software made of checked sheets fillable with colours of choice to help design carpet maps like shown in the video ? Would you mind sharing the name of one such app ? Thanks
Unfortunately I don't know of any from experience. I did google the following term ("software for rug designs") and got several hits. Perhaps you can try that also. Good luck. 🙏

سلام مژگان خانم. منظور من این بود که نهوه بافت فرش را نشان دهم. هم فرش با گره و هم گلیم. در یک قسمت قدم به قدم بافت با گره (فارسی و اذری). در یک قسمت دیگر تمام مرحله از ساختن دار تا بافت گلیم. قدمهای اول بین گلیم و قالی مشترکند. باید ببخشید فارسی من زیاد جالب نیست. قست من اینبود که با تعلیم این تکنیک نظر قالی دوستان را به فرش ایران جلب کنم. همانطور که میدانید این هنر داره از دست میره متأسفانه. من یک کتاب هم نوشتم پس از سه سال تهقیق راجع به شناخت بافت فرش. ممنون از پیقام شما. وب سات من.

Salaam. Thank you so much for the brilliant video. How can one get in touch with you? I am a writer working on a piece about Persian Carpets and I'd love to speak with you.
Beautifully presented. Too much work for me, but I understand why these rugs are so expensive. It is labor intensive. The more intricate rugs would then be more expensive. Over 30 years ago my friend bought a rug for $25,000 for her home. It was positively gorgeous in shades of blue and salmon. Not sure if it was silk or wool. But this was the best video showing how these beauties are made.
Thank you for this video, but why do you call turkish knots, if that is armenian knots, there are many old rugs made in Armenia with armenian writings on it with all history and documentation about it, and there are huge amount of researches about origin of this knots.
Hi! This is an amazing introduction to rug weaving! I was wondering if I could ask you more questions privately. Would it be ok to share your email address or a website through which I can send you a message?
Stop spreading misinformation. There are two types of knot one is correct the persian 1.5 knot and the second one is THE ARMENIAN DOUBLE KNOT and not the turkish who try to steal Armenian culture.
I love your passion for your Armenian heritage! I am an Iranian who is also very proud of my culture. It is believed that the knot should actually be called Azari (Persian word) which i do in some of my videos. So calling it a "Turkish" knot is a reflection of the conventional wisdom for better or worse! Of all the books written on this subject, majority if not all call them Persian and Turkish knots. So i had to bend to conventional wisdom to not confuse the audience. In any case my ultimate goal was/is to promote the rug industry in Iran which unfortunately is slowly dying. Thank you for your patience and understanding. 🙏
This is one of the best videos in youtube about rug weaving, thanks a lot.
