Traditional Skills of Carpet Weaving in Fars,Iran.
Wool for the carpets is shorn by local men in spring or autumn.
.
The men then construct the carpet loom -- a horizontal frame placed on the ground -- while the women convert the wool into yarn on spinning wheels. .
.
The women are responsible for the design, colour selection and weaving, and bring scenes of their nomadic lives to the carpet. .
.
They weave without any cartoon (design) -- no weaver can weave two carpets of the same design. .

All these skills are transferred orally and by example. Mothers train their daughters to use the materials, tools and skills, while fathers train their sons in shearing wool and making looms. .
