Quchan قوچان
Quchan is a town in northern Khorasan whose people are largely descended from Za'faranlu Kurds resettled there as frontier guards. Iranica describes Quchan rugs as a purely Kurdish type: knotted, with polychrome geometric designs, brighter than the Baluch-tradition rugs that other Khorasan Kurds also weave.
