Introduction to Zanjan kilim weaving in Iran

Kilim weaving in Zanjan has deep historical roots and from a very long time ago, the majority of artistic villagers, with Zanjani enthusiasm, produced its varieties for domestic consumption.
Types of Kalim with traditional and geometrical designs of Zanjan province, production of silique, horseshoe, salt, arachnids, twig beds with the same style Kilim texture has been very popular in Zanjan province.
In Zanjan, as in other parts of the country, these simple woven woods are vertically embedded in rural homes, with most wooden ones becoming metal-resistant.
Zanjan has been producing varieties of sorghum, horse sturgeon, salt, sorghum, twig bed with the same Kilim texture that was very popular in Zanjan province.
It is necessary to explain that the production of all kinds of small textiles, except for the underground ones, has become widespread, which of course requires the support, arrest and planning necessary to revive and develop these traditional textiles. Currently, different types of Kilim are produced in different sizes in Zanjan villages, which can be used in different areas such as: Eight Tuk, Pahlavi, Samavari, Tusbak (in Turkish means Turtle), Fund, Ashgel (meaning Three bergamot or single flower (meaning one bergamot) as well as a homogenous combination of animal and plant motifs.
In the Sohrain region, Kilim maps are also implemented in practice, which is actually the type of wave created in these Kilims. Kilim in Zanjan has a special place of production especially in rural families. Art is considered a monopoly of the peasants and tribes and is divided into different types depending on the producer groups or by region of production and texture.
But all forms of weaving are applied to most of the areas where Kilim weaving is common, and the difference in production from different areas of yarn spinning, the use of special dyes or special “woven” color schemes is possible through the use of plain yarn, which is possible in different forms. . For example, in a type of fabric that is apparently made by the Chinese people, there are four strands and three strands of which two strands are thinner and the third strand thicker and each pair of strands is placed on the back or on the product as required. It is simply embedded in a thick web and forms the main texture.
