Original thread including this, The Glob rug, insane and convoluted, so I felt we should crisp this up. I just received this from Daniel, the NJ vendor who offers the Glob Rug which is in some DC warehouse, apparently:

Hi, here is the image - the rug is at a different location (our warehouse in DC) and this is the photo they sent me.. I hope its the right rug.. :-) -Daniel

I too hope this is the Glob Rug, obviously; I think it might be, given the colors. But, I had hard time counting. I also do not see any wefts. Now I learned sometimes they are buried. But it still creeps me out. Actually, I do see a trace of weft below the ruler and they are perpendicular to it. I think they were in a hurry and just put the ruler parallel to the selvedges. I ASSUME.

Also.....cause there wasn't a full image of an inch above their ruler....I hadda count half inch's worth vertically and double it. I get 14 on the vertical (U must double what I marked) and, I think 10 on the horizontal, but I am NOT SURE re the horizontal count. Looking at the knots South side of the ruler, the horizontal appears to be 12. If so, total would be 168.

They list it as 225 KPSI. but if it's 168, it ain no biggie. Plus it is clearly double knotted.

for an item costing close to 1K....U would think they would provide the basics going in, right? I mean, it's not broccoli, OK?

I will await, and, as always, cherish...I feedback.

OK wait! U must DOUBLE THE BLUE DOTS VERTICALLY. U get 14,, no? AND PLS LOOK AT THE KNOTS BELOW THE RULER, where they are dark. Do you not get 12? I wil remark it.

It is NOT DOUBLE KNOTTED? OMG, how come I can't see that?????
___________________________________________
I remarked in red. Pls see below ruler. I think on the horizontal it is at least 11, possibly 12, no? and I circled a knot, does this not look like a double knot in red above?

"Very fair price, looks nice from back".....you are are in luv with 18"GLOBS, Ok? lol

OK wait......cause their image above the ruler could not be scaled to an inch....I hadda do it HALF AN INCH, or, blown up on my screen, 2 1/2" cause they did not show 5" which in this is an inch.. So I get 7=half an inch and we double that. Wut am I missing here?

2 ply yarn, not a double knot. A double knot implies construction. this knot has double ply.

my yellow was NOT outta control. ha. the blue is hideous on my glob rug

I do like blue.

Take a look at this link

They don't call them double knots, they call it double yarn ply

link works for me. anyway, is nancy the one with the chinese rug?

I must go back to zero....the drawing board. I thought I could see and count knots. I was wrong. Out of curiosity, is my ugly garbage rug double or single knotted? To me it looks like single knots, single ply, right? But now I just do not know (below)

Wait! Link works now via above quote! I like the single knot TRIPLE PLY.
