The wefts seem to be missing by half, there appear to be two knots between each weft. What is this? Is chincanery? How does one count this? (Yes, I see it is boring rug, one of the seconds with color run and other stuff.) http://rover.ebay.com/ro...9&mtid=824&kw=lg\| Jilly attached the following image(s):

KPSI is probably right around 100. I counted 10 or 11 quick going vert. (sideways photo). going by the above pic, the weave doesn't seem to be all that bad. when they packed the knots it's not 100% even, but it's pretty good. no color run on the back Rug Rag online Oriental Rug appraiser

I do not like the rug, I just got confused. Is recessed like retarded? I guess not. I srill want higher kpsi.....but it's all about learning, an in this esoteric arena, there is NO END, OK? Puters ARE SIMPLE; RUGS.....NOT SO MUCH. Also, given my having evolved the Jilly brutal wool test.....I immediately got color run may not be apparent, it might be lurking, waiting to emerge. I think it is the Worst; it creeps me out more than moths. Tho I never saw those. Info coming in ongoing, I will make updates for those not already bored to death.

ALSO PLS NOTE....THE GIANT BIAS TAP, looks like fabric-backed vinyl (Eeeewwwww) has been put on with sewing machine. How sleazoid. But this is neither pretty nor quality rug, so I guess they did not care.
