wool pile yarns where they will
do the most good — on the
surface. This fact plus the time
saving efficiencies of the new
technology enable Karastan to
offer the Oriental Reflections at
very affordable prices.
The rugs will be offered in
three sizes and will come with
natural tone fringe on both ends.
All the designs in the collection
are styled in variations of eight
I rich earthtone colors which are
carefully skein-dyed in the wool
yarns. The featured colors are
paprika or rusty red, browns,
golds, bronzes, beiges, dark
blues and ivories.
The seven patterns in Oriental
Reflections include a medallion
Kirman, an all-over Kirman, A
Sarouk, a Fereghan — classic
Persian styles — and an Agra
design from India.
However, for the first time in
any Karastan collection of
Oriental design rugs, a
Caucasian pattern and a Yuruk
design from Turkey are being
introduced. Nomadic Kurdish
hill tribesmen are credited with

originating the motifs of the
Yuruk, a word meaning “moun
taineer.”
Both the Yuruk and Caucasian
designs feature strong
geometric graphics with angular
motifs as compared to the more
curved and flowing lines of
typical Persian styles.
American Eagle Rug
The American Eagle rug had
been in the Karastan tine for a
number of years before it was
discontinued in the mid-sixties.
According to Mr. Dale, it was
frequently used mounted over a
mantel as well as on the floor
because of its attractive design .
“It’s a handsome rug with the
eagle appearing on a simulated
old parchment scroll. It is woven
of all-acrylic face yarns in deep
tones of reds, golds and ivories,”
he said.
The rug will come only in the
34” X 45” size so that it can be
readily mounted as a wall
hanging.
New Broadloom Fashions
In addition to the two new
super-soft broadlooms which are
being introduced for Fall ’75,
Mr. Dale also announced the
introduction of two new high-
performance carpets styled and
engineered for rugged service in
both contract and residential
use.
Called “Design Intrigue” and
“Backgammon”, these new
broadlooms are joining a group
of sturdy geometries named
‘‘The Intentional
Dimensionals”. They are being
suggested for dining rooms,
kitchens, family rooms, dens,
playrooms and other areas
subjected to “heavy traffic” and
where colorful graphics are
desired.
Also, two additional broad
looms, both moderately priced,
are being introduced for living
rooms especially, but for just
about any room in the* house.
They are called “Camieau” and
“Tourneau”, Mr. Dale said.
“Camieau” presents a
“ruffled satin” effect by using
self-toned colors in a subtle
pattern on the thick-textured
plush pile of nylon yarns.
“Torneau” is a solid-color
plush employing Saxony-style
nylon yarns in an extra-dense
surface for long-term durability
throughout the home.
Large color lines are evident
throughput Karastan’s new
broa^ilooms with some grades,
such as “Tourneau”, offering as
many as 26 different hues, Mr.
Dale said. He also reported that
Karastan is introducing
“Blush,” a soft pink, and “Sweet
Peach”, a rosy peach, as com
pletely new colors in its
“Allureau” and “Lumineau”
carpet.
“Rich nature colors or
earthtones are apparent in all of
Karastan’s new broadloom
fashions, and these colors also
formed the palette for the new
“Oriental Reflections” rug col
lection,” Mr. Dale said.
THE FEREGHAN PATTERN was inspired by the luxu
riant vegetation on the Fereghan plains of central Persia.
It is colored in contemporary earthtones, and features
a design of close-packed small flowers.

THE YURUK PATTERN features primitive geometries
and medallion graphics. Nomadic Kurdish hill tribesmen
of Eastern Turkey are credited for the motifs of the
Yuruk, a word-meaning “mountaineer”.
