This is how a woven carpet is created

The term woven carpet describes the way these special carpets are manufactured , in which the materials - usually virgin wool - are woven by hand on a loom to form a thin flat weave. There are two thread systems : the warp and the weft thread.

The pre-tensioned warp threads form the carrier into which the weft threads are pulled from one selvedge to the other and intertwined . This creates a dense and non-slip pile that is very robust and resistant , but at the same time extremely flexible.
