In Iran, Balouchi rug weaving is centered in Khorasan province around the towns of Torbat-e-Heydariyeh, which is 60 miles south of Mashad and Torbat-e-Jam, and 80 miles southeast of Mashad near the Afghan border. Numerous tribes and clans make up the Balouchi population in eastern Iran. Originally, nomadic, but now many Balouchis live a largely sedentary existence, engaging in pastoral activitiesWomen weave Balouchi rugs on a horizontal loom. The warp and weft threads are usually made of wool. In some villages, cotton is used for the warps. The wool used for the pile is of good quality and can be very lustrous in older rugs. Camel’s wool occasionally is used in the pile. The Balouchi are known for the weaving of small rugs especially in prayer design. Other patterns woven by the Balouchi include repeated guls, panels of latch-hooked Motifs, zigzag bands and diagonal stripes. The designs used are influenced by w the rug originated. Balouchi rugs woven in towns have more curvilinear designs than those woven by nomads. The Herati, Mina Khani, and Boteh patterns are frequently are used in village weaving. Many Balouchi rugs have numerous narrow borders in red and black. The running-dog border is frequently used in Balouchi weaving. The Balouchi palette is limited and the colors are somber. Shades of dark reddish-brown, dark brown, blue, rust, orange, Carmel, and white are applied to the rugs and are mostly in small sizes.
