Watching these women pour their souls into every knot of silk thread, row after row, will giver you an understanding of what #LowTimePreference looks like!

They handle everything, from unwinding the silkworm cocoon and dyeing the threads to designing the carpet patterns. This is what handmade looks like.

On average, crafting a carpet takes about a year. However, this duration can vary based on the size and intricacy of the design. Medium-sized silk rugs, for instance, often require up to two years to finish.

Oh wow that must be such a treasure to know your great grandmother made it with her own loving hands 💗✨I would also count those Persian rugs as one of the greatest assets 💗

What colors did your great grandmother use? The colors here were so rich and beautiful.

a mix of reds, white, and others, i will take a picture as soon as i go over to my parents home

😍

The colours and patterns are beautiful!

I thought so as well, incredible work.

I want these people to find ways to accept and be able to convert sats and local currencies. It will change their lives.

I love that you think in this way 🧡✨! I agree with you 100%! I travel a lot and I am always thinking of ways to show locals how to start using bitcoin. 🧡

I showed a few. But I didn’t post because I feel it’s a bit private and I don’t know what day to day life is like for them, just as a girl I’m a bit more careful with what I post when it comes to other people’s Bitcoin (especially if it’s a girl and she is a stranger and I don’t have all of the time in the world to talk and explain all details). But they got some sats and they liked it. ❤️✨
