Weaving of carpets

Bismillah,

Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu!
"In Persia you shall find carpets...the best of the world and excellently colored." - Hakluyt's Voyages (1579)
Although carpets date back long before Islam, with the first carpets made by the Bedouin tribes of Arabia, Persia and Antolia, Muslims made them popular through their advanced weaving and coloring techniques and development of patterns and designs. Carpets with Muslim designs were later introduced in Europe in the 12th century.
