What is Abrash |
| This refers to the hue or color change found on many older rugs, particularly those woven by nomad tribes. Abrash also is indication of traditional materials and dyeing practices. The variations in color are usually the result of inconsistent dyeing of the wool, or through the introduction of a new wool batch while weaving the carpet. |
Is Abrash a Flaw? |
| The answer lies in the eyes of the beholder. Germans, by and large, don't like abrash. Other people enjoy the character that abrash seems to add to oriental rugs. In tribal and village rugs, abrash often looks good and is by no means a flaw. But you, the connoisseur, are the final judge. |
