The basic technique is tying knots which are common for all traditional carpet making. <\/li><li><\/li><li>Similarly, in case of the Caucasian carpets, the pattern followed in tying knots is a very fine and tedious procedure as followed by the Turks. <\/li><li>The Turkish knots and the Giordes knots are prevalent in the Caucasian carpets.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>The use of raw material: <\/strong><\/li><li><\/li><li>Caucasian carpets are actually woolen carpets. The knotted Caucasian carpets are made of rich wool and have a great wearing capacity. <\/li><li><\/li><li>This was the ancient culture of weaving carpets. But in modern times the Caucasian carpet weavers too use warp and weft threads for making carpets. <\/li><li><\/li><li><strong>Where do they get these threads from? <\/strong>These are actually obtained from goat hair and woolen fiber. Even cotton yarn is popular in the making of Caucasian carpets.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Colors and design patterns: <\/strong><\/li><li><\/li><li>The Caucasian carpet weavers are mostly inhabitant tribes of the different places of the region where they are made. <\/li><li><\/li><li>Therefore, the color choice largely depicts the folk flavor and the colors are obtained from the natural sources. <\/li><li><\/li><li>The colors are bright and bold. The traditional weaving pattern is not just laborious but also very time consuming. <\/li><li><\/li><li>Even so, a glance of the traditionally weaved Caucasian carpet will leave you spellbound.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Folk forms and geometrical designs: <\/strong><\/li><li><\/li><li>If you have ever seen an Akstafa carpet, a major type of Caucasian carpet, you will simply get enchanted and take it as a natural niche of country birds. <\/li><li><\/li><li>Highly decorative, these carpets are knotted in the design of birds in a series and they have long necks with the colorful and wonderful tails of peacocks. <\/li><li><\/li><li>You can easily imagine the nitty-gritty of weaving knots to create such interesting designs.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, the Bidjov carpets another Caucasian type have geometrical forms in both realistic and abstract patterns. Nature has been the most thoughtful area of creation and innovative designs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And every time life formed the core of the designing forms, be it the birds or the dogs or any other animal closely associated with the tribal life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8211; Modern use of warp threads and the weft threads: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Warp threads come in a combination of light and dark shades. These fibers are spun from goat hair and accordingly dyed to make the balance in the combination of colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, weft threads are of multiple colors and often combined with the warp to create the dark tinge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brown, rusty red and blue; the deeper shade are common in the wefts but the white color is unique among all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carpet weaving goes back to millenniums ago and oriental countries have always been the leaders of this tradition.
