Question: What is the reason for the carpet weft to come out?
Answer: After finishing the weaving of the carpet, because there is no knot behind it, they are cut and glued to the back of the carpet for strength and stability with the glue made for this purpose, so that it does not fall apart. 500 comb carpets are hard and stiffer than finer woven carpets due to the use of less glue, the remaining threads and wefts stick to the carpet when cleaning the carpet, which are similar to the original threads and cannot be identified, these threads and wefts may It will come out due to washing and after some time of use. This problem can be solved with scissors without damaging the carpet.
Question: What is the cause of the carpet rising when weaving?
Answer:
1. It is possible that the threading was done too loosely or too tightly. In this case, make the thread tighter or softer by using Sardar screws.
2. One of the reasons for the highness of the carpet is to beat the thick weft lightly, or on the contrary, to beat the thin weft strongly, for example, in Rajshmar 46, the intervals of 10 rows should be 1.5 cm.
3. From the very beginning of the weaving of the cheleh carpet, it should be neat because you will have problems later.
4. One of the few reasons for carpet lift is that the carpet is less than the width of your work, which should be checked in advance.
Question: How can you detect the rotting and fading of the carpet?
Answer: By examining the back of the carpet in the areas that have inappropriate and inconsistent texture, you can identify the rotten or faded carpet. The parts that have been repaired are generally rougher and thicker than other parts of the carpet, and with a little attention and a narrow eye, all the signs of puncture can be seen in it, and after that, if you are suspicious of different areas of the carpet, fold that part. You will hear the sound of rotting or slight breaking. When checking carpet piles, be careful that the carpet piles are the same size in different areas and no part is wavy. Finally, cleaning by non-specialists and improper washing of the carpet may destroy the fibers and make the piles look untidy.
Question: What points should we pay attention to when buying a handmade carpet?
Answer: A hand-woven carpet is not only a practical and consumer product, but also a woven fabric with various artistic, cultural, social, economic, and other aspects. Therefore, you should pay attention to these aspects when buying.
• When you decide to buy a handwoven carpet, you must first ensure the health of its various parts. For this purpose, the easiest way is to look at the back of the carpet and touch its different parts: by looking at the back of the carpet, you can know the uniformity and order of the texture.
• The regular passing of the taropod of the carpet, the absence of holes, tears, abrasions, and the absence of worn parts are among the things that should be paid attention to.
• The surface of the piles of the carpet should be uniform, which can be seen by stretching the hand on the carpet.
• The texture of the carpet should be according to the plan and the patterns should be beautiful and pleasant. If in some parts the patterns are out of the normal state (crushed and bumped or if the length is increased in them), it is a sign of a defect in the carpet.
• Non-uniformity of the edges of the carpet, non-uniform size of the facing sides, not completely placing the carpet on a flat surface (some parts standing up), part of the carpet being empty from the map (removing one of the images during weaving), and other such cases. Hands are the signs of defects in the carpet that reduce its value.
• The colors used in the carpet should be the same everywhere in the carpet and it should be noted that vegetable and natural colors are much more valuable than chemical colors.
