Senneh سنه

Senneh (Sanneh) is the old name of Sanandaj, capital of Kurdistan province in western Iran, whose Kurdish weavers are known for finely woven, delicately patterned rugs and kilims. Senneh kilims are fine slit tapestries whose small borders run round the ends as well as the sides. Although the asymmetric knot is often called the Senneh knot, Senneh pile rugs are tied with the symmetric knot.
