Forget Perfection
"To the Moslem weaver perfection on Earth does not exist--only Allah is perfect, so trying to achieve perfection would be considered arrogant," [John] Gregorian [author of Oriental Rugs of the Sik Route] writes. "Many Middle Eastern people accept mistakes as part of life. If a family is weaving a rug and dyes wool as needed with the result being the colors do not match or age in the same way, ultimately, they do not consider this to be an error. The rug is simply the way it is," Gregorian writes.
