The city of Kum, located about 135 km south of Tehran, the capital of Iran, is the second sanctuary for Muslims.
Kum is also famous as a production center of high-quality silk carpets made of 100% silk, as it is called "Kum Silk".
Kum produces not only silk but also high quality wool carpets.
This is made of lamb's neck hair (= cork wool), which is called the finest wool, and has a glossy, high-quality and soft tread.
The fine and solid weave is wonderful in both color and design.
Because it is glossy, the color tone changes depending on the viewing direction like the 4th and 5th images.
Wool keeps the temperature cool once in summer and warm once in winter, so you can use it all year round. It is hard to get dirty and is very durable.
