Some reweaving with recycled antique wool only to the red & yellow outermost pin guard stripes at both the top and bottom ends. If I did not tell you this, you would not see the repair work because of its quality. The ends have been sewn back secure to prevent future loss of knots and the carpet is now aesthetically appealing to the eye.
