Congrats Jilly, Looks great! more pics plz!!!

She needs vacuuming a little. I think pile pretty much consistent....can not wait to see her down in LR and with the light puring in....but will have to. She is truly amazing....I did the wool test she passed....people IMing me and calling.....I need to focus, OK? this.....is very, very very well made, very gorgeous, very powerfully sturdy puppy!!!! Takes time to absorb things, esp not in living room, but I see no evil things lke color run or abrash tho din expect to........boy she is SUMTHIN!!!! So far, no giant globs. And the wool FEELS amazing. I am sure she is Indo. Yes like Joe mission's far less gorgeous one for more money---like 2K plus shipping tho he offered make offe....r I had forgotten but Pro remembered, incredibly.

Efficiency rocks. I just sent Roxanne email re OMG and just pasted a link to this thread. then forwarded it to Daneil who made me promise I would.

My take given all I have learned and seen.....she is worth every penny I paid.....plus she speaks MY ESSENCE AND PERSONALITY.....I swear....even my mother would LOVE THIS RUG!!!! Until she got it is not antique. Then she would have set it on fire.
Will make more interim pics.....turn the phones off.

Know how many recently made Indo Sarouks I have seen? 4 gazillion. Not Once anything even close to this. I MEAN IT. Only other one I liked was the bright 6 X 9 one Nancy offers still.....I think close to 1K for that. One of their "not worth cleaning" new Indos. OMG

I think I will need to use the Miele wit da power head on her.....maybe just initially. Do one major vacuum.....it will not hurt her.

I'm a little slammed so haven counted yet but made some ruler pics.

Just got....this should be in "Show 'em Yr Knots."

When Pro U have time....I am now confused. First this puppy has I think triple ply. At least, double ply. I blew up and counted I nowwwwww get 234 KPSI. What DOES ALL THIS MEAN????

I now think not Indo. Jilly=con-FUSED!!! WUT DOES ALL THIS MEAN???? WHY DOES PUPPY HAVE SO MUCH WOOL?????? So many PLYS-whys???? Not as if it is not densely knotted, OK? Where is Jillyrug FROM? Is THERE SUCH A THING AS TOO MUCH WOOL???

I mean she is so healthy and pliable but sturdy....but I think she has too much wool!

How come kpsi keep CHANGING? I put turquoise dots on last image.....I no longer even know the count of this. I shall await sanity and accuracy, INFORMATION..... and all related stuff.
_____________________________________________
Too many plys, at least 2, maybe 3!! TOO MUCH WOOL, she will not be able to BREATHE....is really 234? How is that possible? rugs doubling in price suddenly, bad enuff....but kpsi?????

I get 13 along the wefts and 18 in other direction. Unless I am totally off which I prolly am. Each knot with many plys. I need to remain calm and focus totally on clients for 6 hour, in job crisis, loosing 401Ks in relationship crisis. I do not get paid to count knots, OK? Or try to figure this rug out. She is gorgeous but very mysterious now.

No, I am tellin ya....the site....is BROKEN. The buttons are gone. They.....have LEFT. Pro.....the count has changed. Now it is 17 X 13.
It changes. The count. Pro.....why does it have double or triple ply? My garbage rug is Indo and it does not have that. but I will say, the knots gleam as if they are healthy.

I think I should get my circular saw down and cut up the garbage rug. I am kidding. It is a Craftsman and it is very good circular saw.

Wait, THE SITE GOT FIXED!!!!! Yayyyy!!!!!!!!!!

Now see this? Everyone was like DO NOT DO THE LIVE AUCTION, it is insane.......but that is where The Jillyrug was WAITING FOR ME! Not on ebay, not locally.....it was in MA wit Roxanne and Susan.....and UPS store Larry who is at that gallery at least twice a week.....and boy, can this guy pack stuff!!! And I don mean Glocs.

And truth be told....is this not waaaaaaaay nicer that the kinda similarr rug Joe offered?????? I mean waaaaaay nicer? I just need to know why it has all the plys. I have never seen this in person, and you can only see it really in the pics at full size.
________________________________________
Edit: Just need to add, I am hugely relieved to feel U like it and feel it is worthy. I mean it. also wanna say the obvious: had I not found this community and joined and commended uber, distilled learning instead of sleeping.....no way, no how would I ever have found this rug, known enough about what it might be....much less ended up with it.

I am completely serious. Also profoundly grateful.

But now, after it is down and in her proper place of honor.....also with a rug pad under it, soon....I will not let anyone walk on it. Everyone can just look at it, and that's it. And I will only use the Milele wit da power head on it once. Thereafter.....not the powerhead. I learned that from my mother.

with the yarn ply, this can vary a lot. I would say this rug is 1 or two, but I would really have to see more areas. some colors may have different ply than others, I've seen it, but it's not as common. the other thing to remember is that the wool has to end somewhere when spinning two cords of yarn together. One is going to end sooner than the other, then get picked up again with yet another strand and then another...

I will upload images just made of Jillyrug... finally in initial position on floor, not close to final... which, in person is spectacular. Also, everyone says, entirely unique. Nobody will ever know how abysmal these are. I mean....incredibly terrible. This camera is disgusting. In person, rug is whole other color. field details perfect and visible.....right now this is the best I can do with the cameras I have.

Exquisite !! I'm ecstatic over your finery and we like nice stuff, Jilly. Congrats, and dance on that baby - enjoy

Tonight I'll pretend I have one too but when I wake up from slumberland in morning someone came through my house and loved it even more LOL

nannab :-)

I figured out my evil little camera makes almost decent pics when the flash is in no way engaged. So I took some of my amazing new rug in natural light I think may be fairly clear and will upload them. They even depict the accurate color. Almost.

Also, a building staff member found a BOOK IN THE GARBAGE when I wasn't around & he left it for me.....it appears almost unused and is wonderful.....tho the timing of this find is not perfect, lol. I made a pic of it. I also Googled it. Am pretty sure it is mentioned here.

Hey!

Thanks for yr feedback, yr energy and yr data! Soon I may let people walk on it with shoes. But not before Global Warming. lol

You sound very sharp, very knowledgable......also generous.

I think I may not have uploaded an image of the book a staff guy found and gave me, it is ORIENTAL CARPET DESIGN by P.R.J. Ford. Tt is huge and it looks as if nobody ever even opened it. And OMG, some of the items in museums take yr breath away. Just the section about knots is grad level....all above my pay grade, but I am thrilled to have this item.

Thanks again!

Humble rug washer my butt. lol You seek with joy, you get things and you retain them. It is yr default mode. It's fabulous. Can you teach this to GM???? lol

Seventy five dollars????? Cause on the dustjacket of this amazing book, it says $34.95. But it's a giant trade book, not really hard cover, so it is the cover flap, not a real dustjacket.

I took a pic of it and thought I uploaded it. It's boring but I will now.

This a very finely woven rug.....the wool is also fine. My antique Sarouk was the essence of sturdy, but it was not this finely woven and its wool was also not as fine.
