Gharajeh
Gharajeh is another carpet weaving centre of which the runners are much demanded both in Iran and abroad. This name is derived from a village that is situated on the western side of Hens. Most of the local weavers produce different sizes of single-weft carpets with geometrical motives on the borders and in among the three medallions woven in the field of the carpets. The colour that they usually apply is dark red.
The network of the warp and weft of the carpet is composed of white cotton thread for the warp and greyish blue for the weft. Other carpet weaving centres of Azarbaijan are Ahar, Meshkin, Bakhshayesh, and Moghan. As a whole, the patterns, colours and method of weaving are almost the same as that of Tabriz.
