en Almerían silk

Almerían silks were a class of luxury textiles manufactured in Almería. During the Almoravid age, there were 800 workshops in the Islamic town devoted to the manufacture of silks goods. These included luxury fabrics and brocades called "dihaj" and "siqlatun" respectively, silk threads, curtains and netting, striped silks called "attabi", knotted silks called "muajar", silks of Isfahani style and more.^[1] At the height of Almoravid prosperity, in the 12th century, imitations of Baghdadi silks were especially prized, of which the shroud of San Pedro de Osma is a notable example.^[2]

Almería was, along with Cordoba, Malaga, and Seville, one of the centers of silk weaving crafts mentioned most frequently by the writers Ibn Hawkal, Yakut, and Makkari.^[3]
