Carpet making is done through a knotting process and these stylish knots are created by hands to reach the final elegant carpet.
The carpet is made of yarn so it needs a final removal of all the extra yarns. The process is called shearing.
A deep washing is done to clean the dirt accumulated while the knotting process and then the carpets are dried in the sun.
Finally, the carpets are also trimmed, to get the final elegant and finished look of the carpet.

One buys Kashmiri carpets for their intricate designs of flowers and leaves with wool or silk threads.

However with the passing of time the carpet weaving has gone through a lot of changes. The craftsman now uses different techniques, designs, and material retaining the hand knotted carpets.
