Weaving:  is the textile art in which two distinct sets of yarns or threads, called the warp and the filling or weft (older woof), are interlaced with each other to form a fabric or cloth. The warp threads run lengthways of the piece of cloth, and the weft runs across from side to side.

Karakul or QaraQul (from Karakul, meaning "black fur") sheep: are classified as Persian lamb, though it may also be called karakul, broadtail, krimmer, or astrakhan, according to the quality and tightness of the curl. The lambs grow rapidly and produce good meat but are very seldom raised for this purpose. The grown sheep are medium-sized and broad-tailed; their wool is a mixture of coarse and fine fibers, varying in colour from black to shades of tan and gray, and is used in making carpeting and other heavy fabrics.

The process

Within the workshop the team completes the entire process starting with the teasing of the wool, then combing and spinning, after which it is washed and treated for protection against moths. Only then can the weavers begin to produce their compound works of art. All this is done by hand and using only the natural earthy colours of the wool.
