卡什加部落的手織地毯，是伊朗設拉子地區的地毯中質量最好的一種。配色最為鮮明，大紅、大藍，有時也用金黃。通常采用幾何圖案，三個菱形奎心列成一行，主面板上布滿各種小的花飾以及鳥獸。由于這類地毯很像高加索地毯，羊毛底布上織有奧狄斯扣 (Ghiordes knotting) ，具有拼花圖樣的效果，據說該部落的祖先來自高加索。商人稱這類地毯為“麥加-設拉子”地毯。在美國華盛頓紡織博物館就藏有一張制于 19 世紀晚期的卡什加毯。
該毯采用全羊毛編織，純植物染色，編結緊密，每平方米的結點達49萬個，全毯結點共計143萬余個，圖案簡潔大方，色彩鮮亮，非常適宜室內鋪設。
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.
