Cellar Workshop for Dastmal Yazdi (کارگاه زیرزمینی دستمال یزدی) refers to traditional underground textile workshops in Yazd (یزد) where Dastmal Yazdi (دستمال یزدی)—a type of handwoven cotton cloth—has historically been produced. These workshops were often located in cellars or semi-underground spaces to benefit from naturally cool, stable temperatures, which helped both the weavers and the textile production process in the hot desert climate. Inside these spaces, artisans used traditional wooden looms (دارهای بافندگی) to weave colorful patterned fabrics that were widely used as scarves, handkerchiefs, or household textiles. The cellar workshops reflect Yazd’s climate-adaptive architecture and its long tradition of local craftsmanship and textile production.
