Will A Modern Tibetan Rug Suit Your Decor?


Rugs from various parts of the world are available. You can get Persian, Turkish and Chinese rugs as well. But the Tibetan rug is something of great excellence because of its so-called weaving which is not actually weaving but knotting.
The knotting process followed by the Tibetan rug weavers is so different from other weavers. They don’t apply the knots one by one and then cut, instead they loop the yarn around two warp threads along a horizontal guidance rod while doing the weaving.

Someone with no knowledge of weaving will not be in a position to do this tricky knotting of the Tibetan rugs. Hence only trained and experienced weavers are made use of for the purpose. The workers just keep the design pattern drawn out on a piece of paper in front of them while they do the weaving carefully following the pattern on the paper that is name ‘shokpo’.

When the weaving process is complete then the next step is the washing of the carpet by hand and finally the shaping with a pair of scissors. The weavers are so experienced in doing the shaping that the final product would give the rug an embossed finish.

They make different patterns like floral patterns as well as animal patterns too. The floral patterns are not only good to adorn your home but they do have a meaning in their design as well. Most of them relate to Buddhism or the Tibetan folk tradition. The floral designs include the lotus, the chrysanthemum, peony and peach.

The lotus in Buddhism faith stands for purity and the peony is considered as a symbol of good fortune while the chrysanthemum is a joy of life and the peace is for longevity and eternal life. Tibetans believe that these floral designs that are used in homes do allow such fates to the occupants.
