Not all rugs and carpets woven in Isfahan are silk! Isfahan is an important region for producing high-quality Persian carpets with fine fibers. Isfahan rugs can be all silk woven or woven with silk and wool together. Carpets that were woven with just silk fibers have higher prices and knot density. They are also softer and have very detailed designs.
