Summary

Rug weaving, an old tradition in Kerman, is one of the main industries of the city. The rugs produced in the city are renowned internationally. The oldest rug discovered in Kerman dates back 500 years, demonstrating the durabillity and quality of the rugs woven there. Also manufactured as in older times are other textile products made of cotton or wool, like shawls and delicate fabrics. Characteristic of Kerman rugs are the bright colours and the plentiness of beautiful flowers with garlands and medallions. The wool in Kerman is of very good quality with greasiness which makes it very bright.

Lavar rugs are known around the world and have found their place in many homes. These rugs were produced in Ravar village next to Kerman city in the northern region, and are known particularly for their fine weave and elegant, classically derived design of allover and central medallion formats.

Classic rugs: Rugs that are woven in urban centres in fixed workshops and looms(as opposed to nomads). Their designs are first done on paper by rug designers. These designs are strictly conducted by the weaver during the manufacturing. Even in these rugs, though there may be slight variations in weaving.

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 rug. 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 rugs. Examples
