About weave and colors of nomadic carpets

Some carpets, mostly nomadic, have stripes of another colour in the weaving, this happens because every wool quality absorbs different the colour, but the weaver does not see it before the final wash, where the carpet gets its final appearance.
Small subtle stripes many times "give live" to a carpet, but large contrasts in colour are considered annoying and reduce the value of a carpet.
This phenomenon is called abrash, a word derived from the word rash in Fars language (mean cloudiness).

Despite the naturalness of these phenomena, our company tries to eliminate them as far as possible and selects mainly high quality carpets without flaws, with very strict criteria
