The fabric called Chador-Shab in many Gilan, Mazandaran, and Khorasan villages is usually woven in eighty-by-eighty inches. It is used to wrap mattresses, coverlets, clothes, and other things different from the fabric used.

Chador-Shab is almost similar in design and color in different regions, but it has more artistic value due to unique designs and colors in Qasemabad, Gilan. This weave is the oldest handicraft of this people, which has historical roots in their culture and customs.

Due to its beautiful and simple design and color, this weave has found many other uses in rural life. Blankets, curtains, and tablecloths are some of these uses. Recently, it has been used for lampshade caps, desktops, laptops, TVs, shelves, and even men's shirts. Most Ghasemabadi girls weave a monochrome or patterned silk Chador-Shab. They take it to the groom's house as their dowry.

There is another type of Chador-Shab wrapped around the waist as a traditional dress in weddings. The production of Chador-Shab and all kinds of knitwear mostly occurs in winter and leisure time, when women are free from working in fields.
