Finishing:
The finishing of this carpet was done using centuries-old traditional techniques. Once its laborious hand-knotting was completed, it was rolled and entirely submerged in a sanitizing bath where its fibres fully absorbed all cleaning liquid. After this, it was laid flat on the ground, and a team of cleaners used wooden oar-like paddles to push the water through its fibres and draw out impurities. more strokes were done in sync to prevent the carpet from getting torn. Each stroke tightened the knots even further. No machines were involved in its washing or drying.
