The city of Mood is located in the Khorasan province in Northeastern Iran. The manufacture of rugs and production of saffron made the city world-famous. Most Mood rugs are of high quality, made of thin, soft wool with fine and shapely designs. Mood rugs are woven with an asymmetrical knot. Bright blue and red with beige for contrast are usually used. In their designs flowers and medallions are typically used. The artisans often weave the Mir design and the design called the garden (i.e., repeated squares decorated with trees, weeping willows, flowers, deer and birds).
