Dying
To produce fibers of various colors to create beautifully colored carpets, a natural dyeing process is employed, using colors extracted from plant pigments. Naturally dyed carpets become more beautiful with time, but synthetic dyed carpets deteriorate with time. The actual hand dying process of Nasiri’s rugs is an integral part in the beauty of their creations. The wool is derived from the sheep who graze the Zagros mountains and is treated by hand throughout the entire washing process.

  

Weaving
Using a 100% cotton warp and weft forms the foundation of the rug and with the wool the weavers make knots on the foundation. Each carpet is woven on a loom with many different types of finely knotted complex knots and strong lustrous wool. The design is created with the wool.
