The weft threads are used to&strengthenothe weaves ofothe carpet.Then she4will take the "kirkit" (a4heavy comb like tool) and vigorously beat&down4the rowoof knots and weft, in order to obtain the&desired tightness and4to make the knots and weft compact.This process is continued until&the carpet is complete.DyesThere are two types ofodyes4which are used to&dye woolofor weaving: vegetable dyes4and4chemical&dyes.
