The wool is fluid, in fact soft rugs, the very good quality wool comes mainly from the breeding of sheep of these tribes. If ancient pieces from Asia Minor have been preserved for us in such remarkable condition, it is no doubt thanks to the quality of the wools or silks used, and their dense weaving, but also because they have no been held only by pious hands, as those who tied them were pious. These rooms were only used for prayer and were put away afterwards.
