About This Yalameh
Where it comes from
This is a Yalameh runner, 208 x 64 cm (6'10" x 2'1"), woven in the village traditions of south-western Iran, also written Yalameh-ye Aliabad. Yalameh weavers are known for bold, confident geometry and a colour sense livelier than much village work of the region, built here as a chain of medallions running the length of a narrow runner.
What you see
The field runs pale cream, filled densely with small floral and geometric motifs, and down its length sit seven diamond medallions, one above another like beads on a thread. They are not identical: the ground colour cycles between navy, dusty rose and slate blue as the eye travels along, so the pattern reads as a sequence rather than a repeat. A broad brick-red border closes the composition, carrying a bold zigzag in navy, cream and slate that holds its own against the pale field.
How it was made
The rug is hand-knotted on a cotton warp, its pile hand-spun wool, at 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre and 12 mm deep. Hand-spun wool takes dye unevenly and holds no sheen, which is why the surface reads matte and faintly ridged rather than smooth. It also explains the medallions: nothing here follows a fixed cartoon, and a village weaver working from memory chose when to shift from navy to rose to slate, giving the runner its rhythm.
At home
A runner this length suits a hallway or landing, seen in passing rather than from a chair. Against pale floors the cream ground and red border hold their own, and where daylight is scarce the red and rose bring their own warmth. The wool is dense and firm underfoot, made for a threshold rather than kept from feet. Walk its length and the medallions shift from navy to rose to slate, a small change with every few steps.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 208 × 64 cm (1.33 m²) this is a runner. It belongs in a hallway, an entrance, on a landing or lengthways beside a bed. It is too narrow for the middle of a room.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre; across 1.33 m² that is roughly 270,000 to 330,000 individual knots, every one of them tied by hand.
How do I care for this rug?
Hand-spun wool still carries its own lanolin, which keeps liquid sitting on the surface for a moment: blot quickly, with clear water and a light cloth, working inwards and without rubbing. Otherwise regular vacuuming along the pile is enough. Turn the rug once or twice a year so light and footfall reach it evenly.
