A sign seen all-too-often in the windows of Montgomery County businesses has appeared at Wool & Knots at 7801 Old Georgetown Road: "STORE CLOSING: EVERYTHING MUST GO!" The rug shop was opened by founder Ali Ahmadi in 2003. His father was the founder of the Pars rug store in Abadan, Iran in 1960. Wool & Knots also offers rug cleaning, repair and appraisal services.
