Dyeing |
One
of the most particularities of Kerman rugs is its various and shiny
colors.
These
dyes with different herbal and animal origins are about 30 colors,
which are resulted by mixing various dyes.
Crimson
colors are from non-herbal dyes, that fire-red is the most attractive
color among those and is made from cochineal.
Using
such a colored wool or white wool is one of the reasons of Kerman
rug's high quality; also because of the lack of water and pasture
deficiency, husbandry is not optimal.
Therefore, deposit of high quality, wool production is not sufficient;
so part of necessary wool is provided from other provinces, such as
Tehran and of course high quality wool.
