what is a 1500 reeds carpet? what are its characteristics?

1500 reeds carpets are woven by ultra-advanced HCX 3 machines. The fiber used in these carpets, are among the most delicate and the thinnest yarns. Therefore the final carpet turns out super delicate and luxurious. Since 1500 reeds carpet`s pile yarns are cut and reduced during the sizing process, they become even thinner and more delicate ever.  

The numbers of knots in one meter of the width is called reeds and the number of knots in one meter of the length is called density. There are 1500 knots in one meter of 1500 reeds carpet`s width and 4500 knots in one meter of the length. 1500 reeds carpet has 4500 density. Given that by the increase of density, the weave and the texture compress into each other more and it would be kind of hard to perceive the pattern. Hence, thin and delicate fibers are used in 1500 reeds carpet`s weave to prevent the aforementioned issue.
