At the start of 20th century, when synthetic dyes were used in Iranian
carpets, hand woven lost their specialties. This new synthetic dye
penetrated into tribal weavers and disturbed their old traditions and
historical instrument of their carpets. Since those dyes were volatile
and unstable, contrary to herbal and natural dyes, having its
unpleasant and unsightly view and could not remain more than a few
years and Qashqai carpets losing their color in the course of time,
lost at the same time their foreign market.
After a while, this mistake was compensated and weavers returned to
their way of weaving and abandoned dyestuff colors.
The
important fact in tribal dyeing is stability, permanence and its
charm, being perfect by color-scheme. Natural colors, when carefully
color-schemed, may last for centuries. Some believe, that dyestuffs
colors would be faded a century.
