What’s the Difference Between Turkish and Persian Rugs?

In modern day Turkey and Iran, it is fairly common to see rugs woven using either a one-knot or two-knot style. But, traditionally, it was Persian rugs (Iran) that used the single knot technique and Anatolian rugs (Turkey) that used the two-knot style.
