Herami

Herami is a thick, striped woollen cloth woven in Lorestan, the name our source gives to the antique throws from Borujerd. It belongs to the Lori tradition of heavy woollen cloth known as mashteh, woven at home around Khorramabad and in workshops concentrated in Borujerd, and used to wrap bedding and as spreads and covers.
