5 ALASHT COLLECTION The Alasht Collection is weaved in the homes of the beautiful people of Alasht, a village on the north side of Iran in the mountainous Mazandaran province. In the past, these fabrics were mostly used for curtains, blankets, and as an underlay to dry curd and wheat. Today, EDELGRUND utilizes this aged technique of weaving with a twist, using 100% wool single-layer hand-spun yarn to create a dense and durable high quality fabric that can be used as floor covering. The designs are inspired by the old minimalist style but combine EDELGRUND s signature finishes, such as borders, to give this collection a special look and feel that you will not find elsewhere. The Alasht is weaved on special narrow looms and artfully sewed together to create the desired size. 100% High quality natural wool 100% Natural hand-spun single layer wool yarn 100% Natural local vegetable dyes 100% Hand Made

7 MASSAL COLLECTION The Massal Collection is created in the Gilan province of northern Iran and is named after a small village there. Massal is a blend of three different techniques of fabric weaving from three different areas in northern Iran (Kordi, Gilaki and Azeri Turki). The fabrics were and are still being used as blankets, blanket covering, and as heavy warm clothing for the Shepherds. They are weaved on special narrow looms in the homes of the weavers and sewed together to create the desired size. EDELGRUND successfully mixed these old weaving techniques and developed this special flatweave. In addition to mixing different weaving techniques, different color yarns are used in the weft and warp of the weave to create the subtle color effects you experience in the collection. This type of weave creates an effect that looks different from every angle. Usually, it s the design that makes the carpet special. In this case however, it s the various weaves and the colors used that make it truly stand out. 100% High quality natural wool 100% Natural hand-spun single layer wool yarn 100% Natural local vegetable dyes 100% Hand Made
