Nabeul Carpets Part 2`





These carpets are the most amazing things. Each tiny little part is handknotted by these girls who work for up to two years for one 20x20 carpet, with memory to guide them for patterns. Their skill, patience, and dedication is really admirable. They invited each of the ladies to learn to make a knot in the carpet, which was really neat. One loom had a silk carpet, the other a wool carpet.
