skin, cherry stem, and pomegranate skin.Women are traditionally responsible for the design, color selection, and weaving, and bring scenes
of their nomadic lives to the carpet
To finish, the sides are sewn, extra wool is burned away to make the designs vivid, and the carpet is given a final cleaning
All these skills are transferred orally and by the example
Mothers train their daughters to use the materials, tools, and skills, while fathers train their sons in shearing wool and making looms.The
