I am a 20 year old Iranian ,as a child I used to weave carpets with my grandmother mother in Yazd. It was a calm and relaxing process that I will never forget. The magic of Persian carpets' patterns and colors is unique and cannot be seen anywhere in the world.
@@Narcis_Hostelthanks for asking yes I still remember and am currently working on carpet patterns and designs based on Sassanid art to create a new style based on pre Islamic art of Iran.🤍💚❤️
I bought two Shiraz carpets in Paris, some 40 years ago. There were no computers then, my carpets were made following ancient tradition and they are beautiful.
My family owns a Persian carpet made in the 16th century that belonged to a Shah. It was bought in Iran by my great-great-great-grandfather back in the 19th century. It has been evaluated to be worthy over $1M. Yes, we are a really wealthy family. We used to be wealthier, though. But this is a family heirloom that we will never sell. The first thing that everyone remarks when they enter our home as guests is the magnificant rug under the dinner table. And BTW, we make everyone wear socks and no shoes when stepping over it to preserve it's delicate fabric. Walking bare foot over the rug(with clean feet!) is actually really good the rug. Human skin is very soft and gentle, and actually helps preserve the fabric. Shoes completely ruin it. What does walking bare foot on a $1M rug feel like? Feels really nice, really soft and velvety.
Magic, miracles and voices of the soul woven into these masterpieces. What gifts these carpets are to our world. Blessings on all the artists, through all time.
Thank you for this wonderful video. It's inspiring, and presents the world of Iranian carpet making very clearly and informatively. I now have much more appreciation for all the work these women do to make these beautiful objects. Sending warm wishes from Cape Town, South Africa.
wow I was curious about how they are made, as it is obvious they have a very close weave. Unfortunately the people behind such precious things are forgotten or not even thought of by most of us. I can imagine the tole on the body just by how the women are sitting, not to mention what they are sitting on. but I can imagine it takes a tole on their fingers and hands too. thank you for sharing this video. 🥰
I'm glad you enjoyed watching this video. Yes exactly. It's such a shame that the women and sometimes men behind this skillful art don't get the appreciation they truely deserve ❤️
very informative and detailed video, you are deserving more views, likes and subscribers, keep it up and please upload a carpet making videos more like this.
Thank you so much for your support 🙏🏼❤️ there are more videos coming up about carpet making. Actually we’re going to visit a nomadic group and make a video especially about nomadic carpets. I’m really glad you enjoyed the video❤️
@Narcis_Hostel I used to be in the business (import/wholesale of handmade rugs from China, India, Turkey, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal, etc.). I have several antique Persian rugs in my personal collection of handmade pieces, but they are all at least 80 years old (I have 33 rugs/saddle bags/tent wraps/salt bags in total). People should think of buying a rug like buying a piece of art.
I went to this rug making place in Uzbekistan, the women were doing all the work weaving the rugs and the men were just sitting there watching TV and doing nothing.
Yes unfortunately women are not appreciated enough for the masterpieces that they make 😢 in Iran there are some men that also help with the process of weaving carpets
Insha'allah, these women will be paid for the work that they do. And that they gain someway to reduce the strain on their bodies. Perhaps some kind of magnifying glass that can be attached to the loom, to reduce the strain on the eyes...
I thought as a bus driver my neck and shoulders hurt but they must be much more looking up and down all day like that. I hope they have massage in their benefits. 😂
do you mean before weaving it? they hang it on the loom. the carpet is woven on the loom that stands upright. once its done, they cut it down from the loom (as shown in the video)
@@Narcis_Hostel thank you for the reply …no I meant how do they hang the big sized silk carpets on the wall in the shop or warehouse…. Without damaging the carpet edges and sides.
Awe, absolute jewels of an ancient culture and people. The use of colors are phenomenal and exquisitely executed by the hands of master weavers. Thank you for sharing.
Can u make Persian rugs by a tufting rug machine. I barely started on my rug machine and my coworker told me the carpet world is either Switzerland or Persian that are most famous for
I think it would be possible but the quality, details, and the feel of the carpet would be different. Yes Persian rugs are one of the most famous in the world. So you're working on a rug machine?
All that is fine. The reason it is expensive is because there are multiple middlemen involved in bringing them to you. This raises the price to ridiculous levels
Thank you for the great educational document. It's an extremely valuable and a treasure to have hand-made carpet wooven in Iran. I found the making of the carpets as a great therapeutic time. From Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦 ♥️
Hi, thank you for watching. Large carpets are nailed down to a piece of wood to keep them firmly in place while weaving. At the end they use the pliers to pull out the nails. But I don't see the blow torch.

Do you still remember how to weave carpets? 😍 That's such a sweet memory ❤️

Thank you. I'll definitely make a video about that ❤️ thank you for your suggestion.

Glad it was helpful ❤️

Surely they must have some other form of work...otherwise it's not very good or religious of them to not be providing for their families...
Thank you.
❤️
کار خوبی بود🍀
Thank youu 😍
Thanks for the wonderful video, we have 2 large, beautiful Irian carpets!
Thank you for your support ❤️ That's amazing 😍
Exquisite work, such treasures.
Indeed it is ❤️
very informative video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it ❤️
So they don’t shuttle a weft all the way across?? I had no idea. That is fascinating.
Yes it takes much more effort 😍 Glad you enjoyed watching the video ❤️
Insha'allah, these women will be paid for the work that they do. And that they gain someway to reduce the strain on their bodies.
Perhaps some kind of magnifying glass that can be attached to the loom, to reduce the strain on the eyes...
I thought as a bus driver my neck and shoulders hurt but they must be much more looking up and down all day like that. I hope they have massage in their benefits. 😂
Haha😂 unfortunately I don’t think they have the time to prioritize themselves over housekeeping and work.
Very nice ❤
Many many thanks
Please
Tell us how do they hang the carpets on the wall.
do you mean before weaving it? they hang it on the loom. the carpet is woven on the loom that stands upright. once its done, they cut it down from the loom (as shown in the video)

Yes a part of it is exactly related to that unfortunately the weavers themselves don't get paid much
And not to forget their eyes. Also the issue is that the women are not paid for what they worked so hard on😢
Yes exactly they said the same thing about their sight. 🥲

Thank you for your support ❤️ I'm glad you enjoyed the video ❤️❤️ it is indeed very therapeutic 😍
at 7:50 there seems to be pliers and a blow torch perhaps, mind explaining what they're used for?
Hi, thank you for watching. Large carpets are nailed down to a piece of wood to keep them firmly in place while weaving. At the end they use the pliers to pull out the nails. But I don't see the blow torch.
I've seen a blow torch used on another video - and probably a different channel?
