The sofreh takes its name from the Farsi (Persian) word for “cloth” and is a type of kilim that is used in many functions related to the preparation and consumption of food. Eating sofrehs are commonly referred to simply as sofrehs and vary enormously in size – from small rectangular kilims for personal use to extremely long and narrow straps for group meals. This type of kilim is woven in different techniques, including alternating kilim and carpet bands, and is produced by various nomadic and tribal groups in Iran, Afghanistan, Central Asia, and, to a lesser extent, other areas. And don’t miss out on a sofreh at dinner today!
To weave this sofreh, undyed natural wool has been used and decorated with colorful motifs. The pompoms have been made with the same color range used in the rest of the kilim.
