| Yazd is an old Iranian city on
the caravan route on the western edge of the
Dasht-i Lut (salt desert). It is also noted as
the home of the Zoroastrian faith. The city and
surrounding area produce carpets very similar to
Kerman. In Oriental
Rugs Yazd Jacobsen
noted that most if rug dealers were shown a
picture they would call it a Kerman. The
term "made in Yazd" means well made in
Iran. The rugs are typically in the style of
Kerman but when Kerman cheapened the weave Yazd
did not. Currently Yazd carpets have a lower knot
count but overall the quality is much higher. Carpets
for export are generally in soft pastel colors.
However Yazd carpets are extremely popular in
Iran for domestic use. The rugs for the Persian
home market have very bold colors.
Special thanks to my dear friend Dr. Khosrow
Sobhe for his help with this guide. See www.rugidea.com

Similar Rugs
- Yazd Carpets are very similar to Kerman
carpets in design but use thicker yarn
giving a lower knot count. Yazd carpets
are sturdier and do not have the fake
field knots seen in some Kerman
Carpets. Yazd are more likely to have
blue (or lavender) wefts
- Hamadan city rugs may look like a Kerman
but have symmetrical knots
- Borchelu
Rugs may resemble Yazd rugs but are
single wefted.
- Kashmar
Rugs from Khorasan may look like a
Yazd but are more flexible with finer
warps and wefts.
