Other Gabbeh rugs are three dimensional, incorporating both a Soumac,
or flatweave, contrasted with a high cut pile to create texture. Panel
design Gabbeh rugs also exist, however the more commonly produced rugs
tend to have arbitrary designs, sometimes unidirectional, or even
simply striated colors running horizontal through the rug. One of the
most consistent and distinguishing elements to Gabbeh rugs are
variations known as abrash. There are some Gabbeh rugs which feature
thick "spaghetti", sometimes braided fringe.
