Repairing of Carpets
The well-known saying 'a stitch in time' is true of all repairs. It is advisable to consult a professional restorer or dealer before sending a rug for restoration or repair, as they will always give an estimate for any work that is necessary, and tell you whether it is worth the cost-at times, particularly if a rug is very old, the wool may have become so brittle (particularly if it has been neglected and unwashed for many years) that repair may not be financially viable.

Restoration is a skilled art, and it will only cost more if bad repairs have been carried out and subsequently have to be removed before proper restoration is effected. Fringes will be the first part of the kilim to deteriorate, and vacuum cleaners are lethal. If the fringe disintegrates or is damaged, the actual weave of the rug will be next. Stopping fringes from unraveling is easily done; reweaving the ends can be very costly.
