In my previous blog post which was Persian carpet and how they made helps me to observation of key theme as textiles for this blog. Persian carpet made with two basic knots which they are: the symmetrical Turkish or Ghiordes knot (used in Turkey, the Caucasus, East Turkmenistan, and some Turkish and Kurdish areas of Iran), and the asymmetrical Persian or Senneh knot (Iran, India, Turkey, Pakistan, China, and Egypt).
To make a Turkish knot, the yarn is passed between two adjacent warps, brought back under one, wrapped around both forming a collar, then pulled through the center so that both ends emerge between the warps.
The Persian knot is used for finer rugs. The yarn is wrapped around only one warp, and then passed behind the adjacent warp so that it divides the two ends of the yarn. The Persian knot may open on the left or the right, and rugs woven with this knot are generally more accurate and symmetrical. Typically, a traditional Persian carpet is tied with a single looping knot (Persian or Senneh Knot), while the traditional Anatolian carpet is tied with a double looping knot (Turkish or Ghiordes Knot). This means that for every 'vertical strand' of thread in a carpet, an Anatolian carpet has two loops as opposed to the one loop for the various Persian carpets that use a Persian 'single' knot.
The weaving of carpet with these two knots helps me to understand textile for this blog. Weaving is a textile production method which involves interlacing a set of longer threads called the warp with a set of crossing threads called the weft. So, textile is actually interlacing of different fibres between warp and weft. Same as Persian carpet which is a textile that made with knots that has warp and weft in different way which I explain it on previous paragraph.
In conclusion, the observation between the art object and key theme is this relationship between carpet made of knots and textile made of weaving of warp and weft.
