About Belouchestan rugs

Designs
Semi-geometrical with stylised 'Trees of life', square-ended prayer rugs, hands are often seen either side of the niche, fancy'S' designs, or flower heads on Kelims.

Knot Dyes

Persian.
Dyes are limited to plum red, brown, black, blue, beige (light khaki) and natural, on rare occasions yellow and white cotton.

Wool

Generally good, although poor quality has been used.

Side cords

Double flat cords in average Belouchestan and check pattern, as cord diagrams show.

Ends (warp)

The majority of old rugs have wool and goat hair, on modern rugs cotton is used.

Weft               

The same as applicable to ends.
N.B.—Regarding   'Kelim'   ends,   as  explained,   they  are always one of the delightful features of Belouchestans and it is a great pity that modern rugs are made with plain cotton fringes.
