List the types of carpets that exist according to their composition, warp and the number of knots of natural fibers in which they can vary.
There are several types of carpets that exist according to their composition, warp, and the number of knots of natural fibers in which they can vary.
The text lists various types of carpets based on their composition and the method used to create them. Carpets can be made from natural fibers such as wool, silk, cotton, jute, sisal, and hemp.
Some examples include:
-
Wool carpets: These carpets are made from the fleece of sheep, and they can vary in terms of the quality and thickness of the wool used.
-
Silk carpets: These carpets are made from the silk of silkworms and are considered to be some of the most luxurious and expensive carpets. Below we show a Turkish silk hand made carpet.

Regarding the warp and the number of knots, we have:
-
Hand-knotted carpets: These carpets are made by knotting the fibers by hand, and the number of knots per square inch can vary depending on the quality of the carpet.
-
Hand-tufted carpets: These carpets are made by tufting the fibers by hand, and the number of tufts per square inch can vary depending on the quality of the carpet.
-
Machine-made carpets: These carpets are made by machines and typically have a lower knot or tuft count than hand-knotted or hand-tufted carpets.
-
Flat weave Carpets: These carpets are made by interlacing the warps and wefts without knots.
