Gom carpets: The holy-religious town of Gom, located at the Southern part of Persia, produces carpets that depict a large spectrum of natural motifs, garden views, hunting scenes and the famous Persian subject called “The tree of life’’. This category of rugs consists of approximately 600,000-1,000,000 knots per square meter and the manufacturers use special quality of wool, called ‘’kolk’’. This type of wool comes from the inner side of the animal’s neck, where the sun is unable to dry up the wool. Therefore, the particular quality of wool is extremely soft and fluffy, giving a sense of pure silk, when is touched. Moreover, silk is the main material Gom carpets are made of and that is why this category is so refined, classy and popular all around the world. They are also made of wool on a cotton warp.
