What is a Tibetan Hand Knot?
Tibetan Knot is a distinct rug-weaving technique now used in other regions as well as in Tibet. A temporary rod, which establishes the length of pile, is placed in front of the warp. A continuous yarn is looped around two warps and then once around the rod. When a row of loops is finished, then the loops are cut to create the pile. This method produces a slightly ridged surface.
