The Persian variant wool used in this product possesses excellent durability for survival in the harsh Zagros Mountains, and soft, pleasant-to-the-touch fibers containing a high amount of oil to effectively regulate body temperature. Gabbeh rugs, with their wool dyed with natural dyes and meticulously hand-woven strand by strand by Iranian nomads, are characterized by their fluffy and comfortable feel.
