Symmetrical knot | Asymmetrical knot | Jufti knot | Tibetan knot | Knot density

A Jufti knot means that the knot (marked with red) is placed over four, instead of two, warp threads (light yellow). The weft (blue) is placed in one or more rows.

When weaving a carpet with this knot, the work goes on faster, but at the expense of the knot density. The carpets also tend to be less durable and the surface can sometimes look loose and shaggy. Of course the carpet is cheaper but also much worse. The knot can be both symmetrical and asymmetrical.

The Jufti knot can be found in Khorasan carpets from Iran.
