Abstract
Based on the evidences and documents left from ancient Iran, the art of dyeing and carpet weaving has been common in Iran since the past, and in the contemporary period, one of the most important centers of carpet weaving and dyeing in Iran is Isfahan province and Nain city. Nain carpet is very famous, because it is one of the brightest manifestations of the use of natural and traditional colors, and it owes a large part of its fame to this quality. Dyeing in this area is done with natural and traditional colors, which is slightly different from other carpet weaving centers that have traditional dyeing, and despite some chemical dyes that are used as an auxiliary, natural color are still dominant in the area. In this article, the traditional dyeing in the historical village of Jeshvaqan, which is located 40 km from Nain, is discussed. Until about 50 years ago, this village had 12 active traditional dyeing units and the main fame of this village was due to its dyeing units, but now with the closure of some workshops, there are 6 dyeing workshops in this village that one of them is half closed. This article has been done in the field. This craft requires more attention from provincial and regional authorities.
