Thanks to its ideal location at a crossroads in the "Kuh-i-Elwand" valley in northwestern Iran, Hamadan has long been an important carpet weaving and trading center. All the surrounding villages and towns produce different types and sizes of carpets and treadmills for export.
The entire region is dotted with miles of spinning mills, weaving mills, dry cleaners and laundries specializing in carpets.

Only the Hamadan carpets from the Kasvin (Qazvin) region have a slightly different structure, as they do not have a single-thread foundation.
There is a slight difference between Hamadan rugs woven before and after 1915. Later carpets woven after 1915 have a cotton base.
Types of Knots in Hamadan Carpets
Hamadan weavers used the ghiordes, or Turkish knot, to make their carpets. It is a type of symmetrical knot used on only a few types of Persian carpets, including Tabriz carpets. Most other Persian carpet weavers use the Persian knot, which is asymmetrical.
