Characteristics of Persian Handwoven Gabbeh

Gabbeh are long-pile, handwoven rugs made by the Qashqai tribe, who nomadize in Iran's Zagros Mountains, using vegetable-dyed wool. The Persian variant wool used in this product is known for its excellent durability for survival in the harsh environment of the Zagros Mountains, and its soft, pleasant feel with a high oil content for effective body temperature regulation.
Gabbeh, handwoven strand by strand by Iranian nomads using this naturally dyed wool, are characterized by their plush and comfortable texture.
