In spite of the fact that the Iranian carpet and weaving industry has spoken globally from the past to the present, we must admit that many Iranian buyers and consumers are still very familiar with the types of carpets and their differences, as well as what terms are important when purchasing a carpet from an Iranian seller. When buying handmade Persian silk rugs, the shoulder and density are the most important points that should be considered by every buyer. These two names may be familiar to you, but do you know what they are and how they affect carpets?
Especially since carpet fans have certainly been struggling with this issue, we thought we would introduce you to the wide range of machine-made carpets (which, incidentally, have become quite popular in recent years) and the fact that the shoulder at all and what does carpet density mean? As these terms describe the quality of carpets in this industry, they are of utmost importance.

A carpet comb is actually used to measure the knots or roots in carpet per meter. There are currently 500, 700, 1000 and 1200 comb types of machine-made carpet, but each has its own characteristics, which we will examine in the following section.
In carpeting, carpet density refers to a carpet's knot density per meter of length. A weaving machine carpet with a high density will be stronger and more durable. A higher dense rug will also be more similar to a hand-made rug (in the rug industry, these are called handmade rugs) and, thus, be more expensive.

Iranians have always been interested in using handmade carpets in their homes and have tried to give more beauty and warmth to their homes by using this unique art. There are different types of Iranian carpets, and knowing them will help you make the right choice when shopping. This article tries to introduce you to this original Iranian art by introducing the best Iranian carpets, types of carpets and various designs.
