Carpet weaving in Kashmir - the cradle of Indian carpet art - arrived with the Mongols. Kashmir has become a hub for quality rugs. In Kashmir today, the finest carpets of the country are manufactured. The patterns are influenced by classical Persian Designs. One typically Kashmiri pattern is the tree of life. The colors of Kashmiri carpets are more subtle and muted. The yarn is silk, wool or mercerized cotton, so-called 'artificial silk'. Kashmiri carpets are very decorative and durable.
