On President's Day, we took a tour of the Magerian carpet factory just outside of Yerevan. We saw the whole process of makng their carpets, from spooling cotton and dyeing wool to the final washing and trimming. The giant loom was empty, but it made for a good tour. With all natural dyes made of pomegranate, indigo, and sorrel, they can create some amazingly vibrant colors. We made it out of the showroom without a new carpet, but we did measure the dining room table when we got home.Monday, February 18, 2008
