In
Garous rugs, natural wool, like light gray, black and
cream were used without dyeing, as well as herbal dyes for
other colors, at the same time. Dyeing was done locally at
home by peddlers.
In
past, colors of rugs were not monotonous. Villagers
supplied piles according to local possibilities and
domestic dyeing. They prepared dyes by themselves, unless
blue or green colors. To make green color, they made
threads yellow; then they sent threads to Bijar to make
those green.
Sometimes
a primary color was prepared in several times, so
sometimes it was darker and another time it became
lighter.
Today,
dyeing is done in towns, mostly by using chemical dyes.
Villagers hardly do it in their houses.
Delightful
and lively colors, like red and its hues, specially pink, alliums
sepa, black, white, henna, different hues of green,
dark blue and white ground, mostly could be seen in Garous
rugs.
Contrast
of colors with ground are so much, that green, white, alliums
sepa, straw color in red ground give special
freshness to Garous rugs and make images brilliant.
