Namdas/ Gabbehs are a kind of mattress, originally from the valley of Kashmir. These are made by felting the wool rather than weaving it. A low quality wool, mixed with a small quantity of cotton, is used to manufacture namdas. They are usually of two types, plain and embroidered. Namdas and gabbehs are embroidered with woolen thread, which gives color, beauty and strength to them.

Prices of namdas depend upon their quality of wool, pattern (plain or embroidered), size of the product and the neatness in designs. Far less expensive are these colorful floor coverings made from woolen fiber manually pressed into shape. Prices also vary with the percentage of wool – a Namda containing 80% wool being more expensive than the one containing 50% wool. Chain stitch embroidery in woolen and cotton thread is worked on these Area Rugs.
Namdas may be oblong or circular and come in a range of sizes, maximum being 6x8 feet, although larger sizes can be made on order. Background color is usually white; black and red are used often to add to the variety.
Namdas are a cheap substitute for carpets and come in a variety of colors and designs. You could end up paying less than 30 Bucks as the cost price for an embroidered  6x4 feet namda area rug.
