GABBEH

Description

The main differences between rugs and carpets can be seen in factors such as the size, the length of the piles, which sometimes reaches one centimeter, the number of wefts used in them, which of course is also a factor for the softness of the rugs.

Fortunately, one of the factors that has made it possible to find gabes in different designs and patterns is the traditional and mental patterning of its weavers, because there is no plan in the weave of this type of underlay, and each weaver can create whatever is in his mind. for this reason, we can safely say that if you put millions of paintings together, it is still impossible to find two paintings with the same characteristics among them. It is a commodity.

This type of carpet is mainly woven in the Persian style and on ground looms; However, sometimes and in some regions, they may also be prepared by the Turkish weaving method. Despite the great variety of designs and colors in the gebes, however, it can be said that the field of gebes produced in different regions of Iran mostly has bright colors such as white, cream or milky. The texture of gebe is usually made by self-dyed wool mixed with goat hair. After washing, these wools are spun and spun and then used for weaving.
