Shahsevan Soumak weave ©Marla Mallett Soumak ( Soumac Sumak Sumac )
Intricate patterning can be done by wrapping colored yarns around the warps--usually single warps or pairs. Most commonly, rows of this pattern-yarn wrapping alternate with thin, plain-weave ground wefts. Exquisite Soumak examples come from the Caucasus, from northwestern Iran, and from a few other areas.
