Weaving Termeh needs a good wool with tall fibers. Making of Iranian Termeh is the result of the co-operation between an expert and a worker called "Goushvareh-kesh". Weaving Termeh is a sensitive, careful and time consuming work that a goodweaver could produce only 25 to 30 centimeters in a day. The background colors which are used in Termeh are jujube red, light red, green, orange and black. The Greek Historians had admired variously the glory of Persian weaving art in Achaemenian (532 B.C.), Ashkani (222 B.C.) and Sasanidae (226-641 A.D.) periods. On behalf of Heredouts and Avesta writings had glorified Iranian Zarbaf (gold and silk weave) and Termeh. Also the famous Chinese Tourist Hoang Tesang was one of the admire of this Termeh.
