Material used in Tabriz weaving is mostly strong cotton thread.


Silk thread is also used in "complete silk", "whole silk" or "silk wrap" carpets; maybe the most valuable Iranian rugs are Tabriz wrap silk rugs.


Azerbaijan is one of the most important husbandry and sheep breeding centers, therefore the greatest part of needed wool for weaving is produced in Makou, Khoy, Mahabad... This wool is spinned either by hand or in factories.
