The Qashqai are renowned for their pile rugs and other woven wool products.
The wool produced in the mountains and valleys near Shiraz is exceptionally soft and beautiful and takes a deeper color than wool from other parts of Iran.
No wool in all Persia takes such a rich and deep colour as the Shiraz wool. The deep navy blue and the dark ruby red are equally extraordinary, and that is due to the brilliancy of the wool, which is firmer and, so to say, more transparent than silk, and makes one think of translucent enamel.
Qashqai rugs have been said to be probably the most famous of all Persian tribal weavings. Qashqai saddlebags, adorned with colorful geometric designs, are superior to any others made.
