The field guide · Knots and fineness
Fine
On this site, Fine in a title means the piece is woven more finely than is usual for its type and place: more knots to the centimetre in a pile rug, thinner yarn and a tighter weave in a kilim or gabbeh. It is judged against others of its kind, not against one fixed count, so a fine Qashqai and a fine Tabriz are different numbers.
