The Slydini Silk Knot trick involves creating the illusion of tying a knot in a silk handkerchief without any visible movement. To perform it, hold a silk in each hand and create a loop with one silk while the other passes through it, maintaining control of the silks. As you pull them tight, subtly manipulate the silks to give the appearance of a knot forming. Practice is essential to ensure smoothness and misdirection, making the trick seamless for your audience.

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.
Tying a knot in jute rope is easier than in silk rope primarily due to the texture and friction properties of the materials. Jute has a rougher surface that provides more grip, allowing knots to hold securely without slipping. In contrast, silk rope is smoother and more slippery, which can make it difficult for knots to stay tight. Additionally, jute's stiffness helps maintain the shape of the knot, while silk's flexibility may cause it to unravel more easily.
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
The homophone for "not" is "knot."
Another name for the Hercules knot is the square knot.
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.
try using a dab of shampoo. any kind...and rub gently together with the fabric. Then hand rinse. Should do the trick.
The male hyena does not have a knot, therefore they do not knot.
