Why do people in Nepal weave carpets?
People in Nepal weave carpets for various reasons. Traditionally, carpets could be used in place of blankets to keep warm on cold nights. Today, many weavers continue to produce carpets to carry on cultural traditions and share the results of the time-honored techniques they use with the rest of the world.
