Materials Used in Persian Carpets
The extraordinary quality of Persian carpets begins with the fine, supple fleece of Persian sheep, famously known as "oily sheep" due to their fatty skin. This unique wool, prized for its exceptional strength and durability, is primarily used for the pile of the carpet and occasionally for the warp and weft. The pile is typically crafted from two single threads twisted together to create a strong two-strand structure, ensuring longevity and resilience.
