Summary

Jaf Carpets : The Jaf tribe is known for their rugs, woven on 3 to 4 feet (0.91 to 1.2 m)-wide looms and usually twice as long as they are wide. The color patterns of old Jaf rugs and carpets are highly prized.

Kilim and Rug Carpets : It is a specific type of flat woven rug called Golbarjasta. Both techniques are used: firstly the knot carpet with pile and secondly the flat woven ruf without pile, the so-called Kilim rugs.

Kilim: It is a type of textile without a pile, that preceded the carpet with a pile and it is mainly made by nomads. It has often got no back or front surface and it can be used on both sides.

All CarpetU2 carpets are subject to cleaning with high quality antibacterial and moth protection products according to Persian law.

Abrash: Due to the different amount of grease in the wool and the added salt during the process of dyeing, the wool has got a varying colour absorbance. This is not very visible before weaving. During the weaving though, lines of the same colour are formed in the carpet. This is called Abrash (which in Farsi means little cloud) and it shows that the wool was not manufactured using chemical means and marks the naturalness and authenticity of the carpets. Examples
