Proper Fringe Repair Methods

On most hand knotted rugs the fringe is part of a rugs foundation. Typically the foundation is created by several intersecting warp and weft yarns. The warp yarn travels the length of the rug; they terminate at the ends, creating the fringe. The weft yarns are woven into the intersecting warp yarns. Again they either terminate because they are cut like a hand knotted production rug or they return to the other side of the rug intersecting with the warp yarns in a woven fashion as they journey to return the other side. The pile yarns are knotted to the warp yarns, one at a time, on silk rugs there can be millions of individual handmade knots. The pile or nap yarns create the pattern, hand (feel) of the rug, essentially creating the rugs identity. Flat Weave or Kilim rugs have no pile yarn. On flat weave rugs the weft and warp yarn creates the pattern, hand and identity. The warp yarns almost always create the fringe.

Sewing on a manufactured fringe will devalue a hand knotted rug.Any repairs that require patching of holes, reweaving rug sections or overdyeing would be referred out to a Master Weaver.
