Lori weavers are known for making flatwoven rugs mostly for personal use. Some weavers use an extra weft for their flatwoven designs similar to the SOUMAK styles from the CAUCASUS region. Pile rugs are also woven, most with the Turkish ([[Symmetric Knot|symmetric]]) knot, although some occasionally are made with Persian ([[Asymmetrical Knot|asymmetric]]) knots.<br>

The Lori tribe also makes Gabbeh rugs using the natural wool colors of white, brown, and black, which are fashionable in the Western market. In addition, the Lori subtribe of the Yalameh makes rugs and carpets that are successfully marketed in Europe.<br>
