The Qashqai are renowned for their pile carpets and other woven wool products. They are sometimes referred to as \"Shiraz\" because Shiraz was the major marketplace for them in the past. 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. Qashqai carpets have been said to bethe most famous of all Persian tribal weavings.
