Wefts run across the width of the rug, over and under the warp strings and between rows of knots. Knots are tied by looping yarn around pairs of warps and cutting off the standing end. Edge bindings are made by wrapping several warps at the edge of the rug with yarn to reinforce this part of the rug. End finishes hold knots and wefts from working off the rug's warp strings. Fringes are formed by gathering and knotting together bundles of warp strings at both ends of the rug after the knot has been cut from the loom.
Field is the background of the rug inside the borders.
Medallion is the round, oval, or polygonal design element that sometimes occupies the center of the field. Corner brackets or spandrels are designs which sometimes fill the comers of the field.
