About Zamin |
From the very small villages in the eastern part of Uttar Pradesh
province in India come these wonderful thick carpets called Zamin.
"Zamin" means earth, or land in both Persian and Hindi.
The wool is hand combed and hand spun, then dyed with pure plant dyes
collected from India and Nepal. These rugs are very heavy, all the
weight is in the pile. A 10'x14' Zamin carpet weighs approximately
165 lb! Zamin carpet designs run a range from modern to classical
Persian designs, but favor the more primitive designs such as Gabbeh.
