The field guide · Where it was woven
Bijar بیجار
Bijar is a town in Kurdistan province, western Iran, whose weaving area takes in about forty surrounding villages; the weavers are mostly Kurds. Bijar rugs are symmetrically knotted, with closely set warps on two levels and often three wefts between each row of knots, beaten so tightly that a Bijar is notably heavy and resists folding.
