Embroidering with beautiful, embossed designs on fabrics and embellished with gold or silver ribbons is called Golabetoon-doozi and is commonly used to decorate women’s local clothing. Golabetoon was originally a type of gold that was made into a thin string. But now they no longer use gold for sewing, and instead replace it with Golabetoon yarn that has a metallic or white or colorful coating and is made into thin threads and sewn with hooks on the fabric, But still the golden pattern on the colored fabrics makes this art unique.
