Dear Diary,
After fathoming historical truths behind construction ofunderground cities, we then marveled at intricate art of carpet weaving. We
paid a visit to Golden Yarn Carpet, a carpet factory. What’s special about this
place is that the carpets here are handmade instead of mass produced by
machines.
First, we were given a brief explanation on carpet making at
a work room. In the room, there are women hard at weaving yarns.
That's a beauty! So detailed...
Weaving techniques
The colorful
yarns are then patiently woven into elaborate complex patterns carpets. We were
told that it takes months to handmade a carpet. They use good quality materials
and apply double knotting weaving technique.
Vibrant!
Colorful!
Next, we were ushered into a show room in which we were
served hot tea as welcoming drink. Then, they started to bring out all types of
carpet one by one. We went ooh and aah over the wide selections of carpets
being shown to us. The carpets that come in assortment of shapes, colors and
patterns are all beautiful of course. However, since they’re handmade, the
prices are very expensive. A small rectangle carpet more or less the same size
as a bathmat (alas kaki) is priced at USD250; whereas, larger ones reach
thousands of dollars. Try converting it into RM, whoa boleh pengsan ooo.
None of us bought anything. Jamu mata je la.
