Why do the fringes of a carpet vary in terms of length and (sometimes) appearance?
The exact length of the fringes depends on the weaving of the carpet and the weaver who has produced the carpet. Fringes are sometimes trimmed short, sometimes long, and in older carpets they may be braided or non-existent. The type or length of the fringe of a carpet has little to do with its value or quality. Each carpet being unique has its very own unique fringe.
