卡什加部落的手织地毯，是伊朗设拉子地区的地毯中质量最好的一种。配色最为鲜明，大红、大蓝，有时也用金黄。通常采用几何图案，三个菱形奎心列成一行，主面板上布满各种小的花饰以及鸟兽。由于这类地毯很像高加索地毯，羊毛底布上织有奥狄斯扣 (Ghiordes knotting) ，具有拼花图样的效果，据说该部落的祖先来自高加索。商人称这类地毯为“麦加-设拉子”地毯。在美国华盛顿纺织博物馆就藏有一张制于 19 世纪晚期的卡什加毯。
该毯采用全羊毛编织，纯植物染色，编结紧密，每平方米的结点达49万个，全毯结点共计143万余个，图案简洁大方，色彩鲜亮，非常适宜室内铺设。
The carpets of the Qashqa'i are the best known and, in general, the most beautiful of the area and the history of the tribes is reflected in the resemblance of the carpet patterns to those of north-west Persia and the south-east Caucasus. Even less is known about the patterns woven by the individual tribes of the Khamseh federation which include the Basseri, the Ainalu, the Baharlu, and the Nafar. Of these, the Basseri are Farsi speaking and entered Fars from Khorasan. Rugs are also woven by Arab tribes in the area. However, by no means all the carpets produced in this region are woven by nomads; many are woven by settled people in villages and in workshops mainly situated around Shiraz, the capital of Fars.
