Why Iranian silk rugs are so soft, detailed, and expensive. This episode explains how silk fibers, extreme knot density, and centuries of Persian craftsmanship create rugs that feel unreal under your feet. You learn why some silk rugs reach over one million knots per square meter, why they shimmer when you move around them, and why they were never meant for everyday walking.
