More to do before it's ready

This part actually happens before the wash process talked about in the previous post. And, it mostly applies to yet another process to be talked about in future posts. And it also happens as part of the very last part of the manufacturing process. A lot of important steps in making a rug.

First, the rug is trimmed to an even pile height.

To do this, it must be combed

and is then cut with both electric tools and with almost ordinary looking scissors. Brush/sweep the surface, maybe vacuum and trim some more. The electric tool looked a lot like a router with a vacuum attached.

And those scissors have a bent handle that allows the cutting flat to be flat.
