The Navajo do this. There is an imperfection as an homage to Grandmother Spider who taught them to weave. I believe the Hopi do it too, but their weaving is not as widely known as the Navajo.

Reply:I read that Muslim weavers weave a small imperfection into every rug because only god is perfect.


It sounds stupid to me - if god was that good he could do his own imperfections.
