Pulling
In most cases carpets manually woven of silk and wool have clear unevenness of their edges. To eliminate this defect carpets are fastened to wooden floors with their four ends pulled. Then the carpet is raised up from the middle by means of special wooden lifters and smoothened on the back side. After that the carpet is pulled and fastened to the wooden floor again and left in this position for two days. As a result of this process the crookedness of the carpet which has just been taken off the weaving loom is totally eliminated and the edges of the carpet become straight.

Famous quotes containing the word pulling:
“The Schofield Kid: It dont seem real, how he aint gonna never breathe again, ever. How hes dead, and the other one, too. All on account of pulling a trigger.

“Our kids will develop a work ethic only if we require them to pay a portion of the cost of some of the things they want. Theyll learn to defer gratification the moment we stop routinely pulling out our wallets. And theyll learn self-discipline only if we care enough to enforce reasonable limits.”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
“Why must it always end this way?
A dais with woman reading, with the ruckus of her hair
And all that is unsaid about her pulling us back to her, with her
Into the silence that night alone cant explain.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
