it is easier to tie a jute knot than a silk knot because jute is made up of a coarse material and is easier to handle whereas silk cloth is very slippery and is not easily handled by anyone.
The whole goal with a knot is to create as much friction between each of the strings as possible. The greater the friction, the better the knot will hold. Silk string is very smooth as compared to the cotton string. So the friction produced when a cotton string is tied in a knot is greater than that when a knot tied with silk string. That is why a knot tied with cotton string will hold better than a knot tied with silk string.
The fibrous surface of the jute thread has high friction, so the knot doesn't slip easily. Silk thread is smooth and has low friction, so the knot may easily slip - the same goes for nylon thread.
When I first posted this question I was a Persian rug rookie. Now after spending some time in the middle east learning about rugs I should have been more exact in the question. it depends on the knot count sure but there are a several ranges of quality within the same knot count rug. Also it would be better to know the exact knot count as well. Comparing a Kasmiri rug to a Persian rug is also not a good comparison. I saw rugs that were Kashmiri going for about 30% less then their Persian counter parts for the a comparable design and the eaxt same materials(silk on silk). yes the Kashmiri's are close but they do not really compare IMHO. I bought 7' by 12' 1200 knots silk on silk rug from Kashmir for 3700 dollars few years back

Another name for the Hercules knot is the square knot.
its the palomar knot 95%
There are 3 common names for the same knot - Overhand Knot, Thumb Knot, and Common Knot. None is more "correct" than the other, it is simply a matter of where the knot was taught to the person using the knot.
The male hyena does not have a knot, therefore they do not knot.
