Baluch بلوچ

Baluch rugs are woven by Baluch tribes in Khorasan and Sistan, in eastern Iran, and by neighbouring groups who weave in the same tradition, not in Makran where most Baluch live. They are knotted with the asymmetric knot, traditionally on wool warps, in dark blues, reds and browns with near-black outlines; undyed camel hair sometimes fills prayer-rug niches. Wide selvedges of dark goat hair are characteristic.
