- Zamin Runners
- Zamin means earth or land in Persian or Hindi, and Zamin carpets are truly carpets of the earth. They are woven in India in villages in the eastern part of Uttar Pradesh. They are a thick, weighty, meaty carpet, where all the weight of the carpet is in the heavy, beaten wool pile, much like an old Persian Bidjar. The vegetable dye colors are rich and saturated. The best, longest staple New Zealand wool is used, which is hand carded and hand spun. Vegetable dye stuffs are collected from throughout India and Nepal. Zamin designs favor the more primitive, such as Gabbeh designs, but run a range from modern or experimental designs to classical Persian designs. They are relatively finely woven, averaging about 100 knots per square inch and range in size from 2'0 x 3'0 to 10' 0 x 14' 0.
