Al Istahri

The capital of Armenia produces woolen fabrics such as carpets, pillows, belts and other Armenian products (asnaf al-armani). The Armenians have a dye called karmir (red) with which they dye their wool. From here, wool fabrics, carpets, woolen threads and various woolen clothes, as well as silk fabrics are exported in large quantities.
