The process of weaving of the carpet
Abstract
After the carpet is woven with cotton threads (approximately 25-30 cm, until it is turned once on the warp beam) using a shuttle with bobbins, the cotton threads are wound, so-called "teeth" are placed on top of the fabric, which maintain the width of the carpet. They do not allow the carpet to tighten, they maintain the width along the entire length of the fabric.
