Today, Pakistan is one of the main hand-made carpet exporter
countries. Since 1947, when Indian Muslims immigrated to this country,
weaving flourished and became common and immigrants gave more flourish
to it.
Wool is one of the most
important factors of weaving, which is produced from local animals. In
addition to woolen carpets, they weave silk carpets too, which imports
its silk from other countries.
This country’s carpet designs are imitations of Kashan, Isfahan and
Turkmen carpet images (Iranian designs). The most important images of
hand-made carpets in Pakistan are Aigrette Paisley and Cashmere
Paisley.
Dyes are mostly chemical; cream, beige and camel colors are more
common.
