Most Iranian carpet companies use iron loom. Kashmar carpets are usually made from wool. But sometimes they also use silk. The type of knot used in Kashmar rugs is Persian knot. But besides that, the Turkish knot is also used.  The guard border of all Kashmiri rugs is done after the tissue finishes. Most of these types of carpets use lucky red color. This color is one of the unique features of this carpet. It is interesting to know that this color has been used in Kashan rugs since ancient times.

There are currently about ten dyeing workshops in Kashmar that supply a significant part of the raw materials of Kashmar carpet. It is noteworthy that these carpets rarely use herbal colors.
