Also known as a Senneh knot, it is a technique of hand-knotting found in rugs from eastern Iran, India and Pakistan. Half of the weft thread is knotted tightly with the warp with the other end is left loose, resulting in an asymmetric knot, which can be manipulated further to create more complex designs. The technique is typically used to create rugs with high knot counts and detailed designs.
