Learn Section>> Carpet Creation Index>> Weaving
 

In order to better serve the purpose of making these explanations as simple as possible, I've broken this section into several different pages.  This also allows for more pictures because the process and tools of weaving are fairly extensive.  The materials here provided have solely to do with weaving in Iran and not in other countries.  I have indexed each section so that you, dear reader, can see what is covered and defined where.

TOOLS: Dafteen (Combs), Knives, Spindles, Shuttles, Bobbins, Scissors
