During 1750-1850,
industrial development and invention of motorized looms set an end to cottage industries. Crossely Carpet from Weaving of an Area Rug: - Traditional, ethnic, oriental, Persian,
and nomadic rugs are mostly woven in silk, wool or cotton. In most societies warp used of cotton for the strength and tension
to withhold but in many Aztec and nomadic rugs, we find both warp and weft used of wool. Use of material depends on the tradition
and availability. In case of any
warp for the rug loom, is in ply twisted together to give more strength for warp. The machines to weave are the pit looms,
frame looms are auto or handlooms. Better yarn, color and the density of the weave is for better quality of a rug. Apart from
it, even the time consumed to weave counts to give value to the traditional or ethnic rug. Popular weaving techniques for
hand made rugs are braiding, hand weave, tuft, shuttle, and knots. Most popular of all rugs is woolen rugs and the best yarn
used is New-Zeeland wool as it has grace, shine, and length to qualify for high value rug. From zero count to 100 counts thread
used for rugs. Thin yarn used for weaving high-density weaves to obtain clarity of the design, more threads per inch is for
more dense design. Zero count mainly used for weaving shaggy rugs. Tuft, knots,
or woven cut pile are to give shape as shaggy rugs. So weaving is a system to join warp and weft together that gives look
to fabric or rug. Knotting is a system to bind thread on warp and cut, a thread inserted as weft to fix knots between two
wefts to give shape for fabric. Construction quality of the rug: Methods to check number of knots in the rug/ carpets in India Varanasi: - Bhadhoi-
Mirzapaur is very traditional and typical; the system initially used to make illiterate weavers understand what the customer
requires. Construction quality based on number of warp threads per yard, for example, the quality 14/ 70 that means 14 (BIS)
pairs of warp quality. BIS in Hindi is 20. 14 x 20 (BIS) warp pairs = 280 warp pairs in a yard. Knotting done between 280X2
= 560 lines of warp. Number of warp pairs in yard divided by 20 is the quality of warp count. Number of knots vertically in
9” is the quality of the rug. 70 knots per 9” inch vertically. For warp quality 14: Number of warp threads per yard is 14 x 20(BIS) x 2(pair) = 560 threads per yarn in the warp. Therefore,
warp threads counted in small portion of the rug in 9 inches 70 pairs x 2 = 140 single x 4 = 560 threads in 36 inches or yard. For knots quality 70: We count number of knots per 9 inches that means if has
70 knots in 9 inches is called 70 quality. However,
internationally the knots counting are per square inch or centimeter. This system is more practical and easy and very useful
to count high-density rugs. Fabric weight in kg PER M2
CALCULATION:- (Reed divided by
warp count x 1.10) + (Picks divided by weft count x 1.04) x 23.45 = 23.45 M2
weight Overpopulated world
needs resources to survive, without which unemployment will move up and lead to unrest, one day. The claim of poverty elimination
by 2015 of UN will become untrue until contemplated to generate resources for employment generation. People need jobs for
their livelihood and not the micro credit campaign of International Organizations.
To make competitive
and touchy handmade carpets appropriate Governments and international bodies need to frame solutions so the unemployment crisis
does not lead to their suicides:
