The oldest Caucasian carpets were made from hand-spun wool, both for warp and weft and fleece. The natural colors are bright and vibrant. Thanks to the good quality of their wool and Turkish knots, these carpets are durable and are highly appreciated.
For recent carpets, then annoded after 1925, cotton warp is used, synthetic colors that have been faded, the patterns are less numerous and less sought after.
