Nomadic carpets are those knotted carpets that are created on the never-ending paths of Persian nomadic peoples and represent an exceptional attitude towards a millennia-old tradition, virtuosity, an unencumbered sense of aesthetics and uncompromising craftsmanship. Many of them still shear the wool themselves, spin it, dye it, wash it in rivers and carry it with them along the endless paths of the mountains, from where they draw inspiration, which they masterfully harmonize with tradition.
The carpets made in the villages , like the nomadic ones, are made from memory, motifs and patterns are passed down orally from generation to generation, and sometimes they are helped by rather simplified sketches of the design. They use both horizontal and vertical wooden looms, which allows them to make even larger carpets. When making a larger carpet, several women participate in the process.
