Bijar is one of the pioneers in carpet weaving. Bijar carpets, which are abroad, date back to 1266 AH. Many of the carpets in Kurdistan that are housed in museums belong to the city of Bijar. Most Kurdish carpets are dense, which makes them strong and durable; This makes them useful for public spaces. For many carpet experts, the word Bijar evokes the meaning of durability. The reason for the durability of carpets is that weaver weavers often use heavy wooden and metal combs to weave carpets and rugs; As a result, no waste or particles can enter the carpet space due to the compression of the carpet surface. Bijar carpets are woven with Turkish knots. As mentioned, Bijar carpet is known for its very thick mass, which is due to a special weaving method called wet weaving, which is done with the help of special tools. During weaving, the threads, wefts and carpet mass are constantly kept moist. After weaving, the carpet dries and the wool stretches, making the carpet more compact. Heavy hammering on nail-like metal tools, which are inserted into the threads when weaving, further stretches the carpet. The fabric is compressed again using fabrics of different thicknesses. Usually one of the three wefts is significantly thicker than the other wefts.
