Baluch rug

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Baluch rugs are woven near the South-Eastern border of Iran and in Western regions of Pakistan and southern Afghanistan. Being of tribal and often nomadic origin the Baluch rugs are generally small in size, typically limited to a length of 8 ft.

Often using wool pile and foundation the rugs are resilient, however due to the materials used and the circumstances of the weavers the knot count is generally low with about 60-180 knots per square inch (KPSI).
