Warp: Beginning part of a rug where wool,

following the length of a rug. Comprising the structure, parallel

wefts.

in succession to the warp, crossing at right angles in the
direction of the width of the fabric. In piled carpets they
are invisible on the surface in kilims the wefts are the only
threads visible.
Weft: Wool, cotton or silk strands inserted
horizontally over and under the warp forming the foundation
of the rug.

are more closely spaced than the warps.
Wool Foundation: A rug is started with
a wool warp and weft.
