Kerman carpets use asymmetrical
Persian knots. The knots vary
from carpet to carpet. Such
carpets can have one of the
following qualities of knots-
190, 250, 320 and 400 knots per
square inches. These carpets
have three wefts in which the
first and the third weft is
thicker than the second. Cotton
and wool are the minimum raw
materials for making the Kerman
carpets. Piles are woollen
whereas for warps and wefts
cotton is used. Wool for the
pile is procured either locally
or imported from the regions
like Khorasan and Kermanshah.
