Turkmen ترکمن

Turkmen weavers in Iran live on the Gorgan and Atrak plains, now Golestan province, and in northern Khorasan; Iranica names the Yomut, the largest group, the Göklan and small Tekke groups. Yomut work is geometric and close to monochrome, and covers an unusually wide range of bags, trappings and covers. Larger Yomut carpets are usually symmetrically knotted; small pieces more often use the asymmetric knot.
