Pulp carpet weaving training

First, the materials used for weaving the carpet are vertical and have no carpet with other ordinary carpets. On the other hand, the weaving method in this type of carpets is done in Turkish method and using carpet weaving hooks.

The method of work is as follows: The texture is similar to ordinary carpets, and the main difference is in the type of weaving of this type of carpet. In soufflé rugs, you will use two types of fabric, thick and thin.

The procedure is as follows: After you have entered a complete row of knots, you need to do the weaving work. In soufflé rugs, you first use a skewer to pass a thick cloth, also called al-qaj, through two layers of yarn, and then hammer and tighten it using a rug comb. Remember that at this stage, when passing the skewer, be sure to hold the tip down so as not to damage the skewers.

After the thick weft you should insert the thin weft; For this fabric, you can choose one of the types of gold or silver glabton yarns, depending on the design and colors used in the design of the carpet. This choice of yours makes your carpet be called weaving or silver weaving. (The same case we mentioned at the end of the previous section that we explain)

But importing thin fabric is different from importing thick fabric. You applied the thick fabric over all the knots, while the thin fabric was placed only on the simple parts without the design of your carpet, and it is necessary to be careful when pounding this fabric using the carpet comb, because it is thin. Do not be a “ring”.

Tip about texture

If you want to use the carpet for use on the floor, the headboard should be done from the right side and using thick fabric, but if you want to weave the carpet, you do not need a headboard and use the term “headless” texture.
