Termeh

Termeh is a type of expensive fabric made from very delicate fibers, which is one of the exquisite textile handicrafts of Iran. The beginning of weaving termeh in Iran dates back to the early Safavid era. What can be said about this very delicate fabric is that the taste and creativity of Iranians in its texture, material and imaginative designs are unmatched in the world. This art reached its peak of flourishing and development during the Shah Abbas Safavi period and became world-famous and one of the formal products of Iran.

What we need for weaving termeh, is high-quality silk and wool with long fibers. The yarns are dyed with vegetable dyes and natural materials, mostly in purple, red, green, orange, and black colors. The color of Iranian termeh is usually obtained from natural plants. This color can be obtained from the root, trunk, leaves, flower, fruit, or skin of plants.
