About This Yalameh
Where it comes from
This is a Yalameh runner, a village weaving from the Persian region around Isfahan and Shiraz, 244 x 78 cm (8'0" x 2'7"). Yalameh weavers are known for confident geometry and a palette that runs bright rather than muted, and this piece carries that reputation in an unusual form: not one medallion repeated down its length, but six, each knotted in its own colour.
What you see
The field is a deep navy black, and down its length run six lozenge medallions, each glowing a different ground colour — brick red, ivory, forest green, steel blue — linked one to the next by small floral connectors. In the ivory medallion, two small stylised figures sit either side, reading as birds. A broad brick-red border frames the runner, with an ivory guard stripe carrying small stepped motifs that hold the whole length together.
How it was made
The pile is hand-spun wool, hand-knotted onto a cotton warp at a density of 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre — a moderate count that favours clear blocks of colour over fine gradual shading, exactly what six distinct medallions need. Hand-spun yarn takes dye a little unevenly, so each ground colour carries a soft depth rather than sitting flat. At 12 millimetres the pile has real body underfoot, and its matte, faintly ribbed surface, visible along the fringe, is the mark of wool spun by hand.
At home
A runner this length suits a hallway or a landing, seen in passing rather than all at once. The navy field holds its own against a pale floor or a dark one, and in a dim hallway the six medallions catch the eye in turn — red, then green, then ivory, then blue. Underfoot it is dense and firm, made for daily footsteps, and the matte wool wears well rather than showing it.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 244 × 78 cm (1.90 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 1.90 m² that is roughly 380,000 to 480,000 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.
