The
surrounding regions of the north-west Iranian city Hamadan is
one of the most productive rug weaving areas in Iran. In each
of the many villages (more than 600), unique rugs in a heavy quality
with colourful, charming and primitive motifs are manufactured
in a variety of sizes and designs. The Hamadan area is mainly
turkmenian and the rugs are handknotted using the
Turkish knotting technique, i.e. ghiordis. The weave is cotton,
while the strong pile is usually heavy and rough-spun pure wool.
Some of the most common Hamadan rugs are Shiraz, Kamseh, Hosseinabad,
Tuserkan, Merevan, Saveh and Bibikabad.
