These rugs are known for their substanstial size and often contain crimson, beige and dark blue as the dominant colors.
Secondary colors include Pistachio, dark green, olive, ivory, cream, camel, and yellows. The area’s rug weavers also use pink, purple, and red. These Persian rugs are made mostly with wool on wool and the knot counts are often fine with higher KPSI.
