Carpets, Kairouan is particularly famous for its carpets and visiting a shop is an integral and sometimes unexpected part of visiting the city. Carpets are graded by their fineness, the number of knots in a square metre, with a normal weave from 10,000 to 40,000, fine weave from 65,000-90,000 and extra fine from 160,000 - 500,000. Silk carpets may be over 500,000 knots per square metre.
