Carpet Weaving in Bukhara

No, the method for weaving carpets doesn't change from town to town. I thought the light was too dark to make out much detail in the other video. My guide took me to a carpet shop in Bukhara that was much better lit, so I took another video.

At this carpet shop, I was told that carpets are made from sheep wool, camel wool, and silk. The type of material affects the price of the carpet, as does the size, but the main factor in price is the number of knots per square centimeter. I felt the difference between a couple of carpets with different knot counts. My purchasing advice? Spend the extra for more knots per centimeter. The detail in the designs is unbelievable.
