How Termeh is made:
Termeh is a form of textile art, traditionally woven on a vertical loom.Tapestry is weft-faced weaving, in which all the warp threads are hidden in thecompleted work, unlike cloth weaving where both the warp and the weft threadsmay be visible. In Termeh Tapestry weaving, weft yarns are typicallydiscontinuous, the artisan interlaces each colored weft back and forth in itsown small pattern area. It is a plain weft-faced weave having weft threads ofdifferent colors worked over portions of the warp to form the design.
This special type of handmade Tapestry is called Termeh. Weaving Termehrequires good wool with tall fibers. Termeh is woven by waving machine. Thentailor cuts the Termeh and satin according to common standard sizes, then line thefabric with satin and add golden strips to the edges and sews all around thefabric.
