Yazd یزد
Yazd is a desert city in central Iran whose surrounding towns, notably Meybod and Ardakan, have long been known for zilu (ziloo), a sturdy cotton flatweave made on a special loom, with an extra set of inner warps that sets it apart from other Persian flatweaves. Yazd is also listed among Iran's twentieth-century centres of pile carpet weaving.
