Hand-made carpets require a loom and woolen threads. Tense woolen threads are tied to the loom from top to bottom, called warps. The warps form the carpet's framework. A warp is used to create parallel knots between these taut threads, creating gaps between them. The threads passed between the taut warp threads are called wefts.
