Regarding
size, weaving, structure, combination and dyeing, namakdans of Lor of
Bakhtiari have complete unity.
Those
sizes are about 60x40 cm.
Colors
are green, blue, dark red and some yellow and brown.
Cotton
thread is used in most of those, which has an important role in better
look of design and colors.
There
are too many words to explain the taste and skill, used in limited
small space of these namakdans, but the creativity used in those are
admirable. Structure and weaving of Lor's namakdan have single and
plain rule.
Three
different structures are used in all of namakdans. Front side is weft
wrapping weave. Its bottom is piled weave with symmetrical knots.
Backside is plain flat weave.
Weft
wrapping weave of Lor is loose and not pressed, so that extra wefts
between weft wrapped wales are seen; color of this weft is dark red.
Bottom
part of namakdan, between 3 to 5 cm is piled woven, which is folded
from the middle and is seen from front and backside, to prevent
corruption of bottom of namakdan. They use this method in their
silique (Khorjin), too.
Backside
of Lor namakdans are plain flat weave with narrow stripped design and
are usually red and blue or red and green.
Two
sides of Lor namakdans are woven weft wrapping by black or dark brown
goat hair.
Extra
warps are twisted into shoulder part and are covered by different
colors. Sometimes warps, which are usually light brown or ivory color,
are braided.
