Namad: felt making in Iran
Editorial team · updated 2026-09-29
Process
Wool is laid out with colour patterns, wetted with warm water and soap, rolled and pressed for hours until the fibres lock together.
Centres
Namad has been made in many regions, including Mazandaran, Kerman and Khorasan. Workshops are fewer today.
Care
Felt is sensitive to moths. Air regularly and store with care.
