Claire Chapman Mar 6, 2007:
Les tapis à surface lisse sont dits « tissés ». Ce sont les plus anciens de technique. Ceux dont la surface est constituée de « mouchets » de laine, plus ou moins serrés, sont dits « noués ».

Claire Chapman Mar 6, 2007:
If an item is flatwoven, it does not have any pile. This would include the rugs woven by Native Americans. This type of woven rug is contrasted with a knotted rug such as the typical Oriental rug.
