Goat hair موی بز
Goat hair (موی بز) is used in Persian weaving mainly in the foundation and edges. Iranica records it mixed with coarse sheep's wool in the warps of tribal rugs woven for home use, in Baluch flatweaves, and in the selvedges of coarser Baluch rugs. It is clipped, washed and combed, then spun alone or with sheep's wool.
