Jajim جاجیم

A jajim is a flatweave in warp-faced plain weave: the warps are packed so closely that they hide the wefts, so the colours run as lengthwise stripes, sometimes enriched with extra pattern wefts floated across the ground. Persian dictionaries describe the jajim as a pileless spread of coloured wool or cotton yarn, thinner than a palas, used as a ground cover and to wrap bedding.
