JBOC Comments: SENNEHBAF is the
Persian for Sennah Knotted. This referes to the
unusal weave used in Sennah. The yarn has a high
twist. The wefts are larger than the warps and it
is single wefted. I have seen very few Sennahbaf
carpets over the years until I was in Memphis Tn.
then one day I say a surprising number. Memphis
is a town for Sennah and Karaja carpets
