Very interesting laying of insect larvae in the carpet

Community and Forum → Insects breeding → Very interesting laying of insect larvae in the carpet

Please help identify the type of insect that has laid larvae in the rolled-up carpet when air is available.
The secretions are dry, they are "bagels" of dark gray and sand-colored stripes, connected to each other, firmly glued to the carpet, and thin threads stretch from the sides. Inside one (it became clear when I tore it off the carpet) - something brown shines through on the side, and behind it - white? Most likely it is a larva. The remaining cocoons are not opened. Six together, one separately. I think it's probably spiders. If you can, then specify the type - to satisfy your own curiosity. I enclose the photo.
Thank you in advance.

I found that it can be Pelopean wasps. But the carpet was kept in the room on a cabinet. And bees /wasps, if they flew in, were immediately driven out, and where would they get so much material and food for building cocoons if they hid in the carpet? It must be a spider clutch after all.

Yes, it was the wasps that harvested the spiders for their larvae
