Wiss rugs originate from Wiss, also referred to as Viss, a small town located near Hamadan. However, for a small town, Wiss has an eclectic mix of population. Kurds, Turks, and the nomadic people of Bakhtiari all call Wiss home, and it is the influence from these diverse groups that is an integral part of the weaving of wool rugs here. Due to its largely nomadic population, the majority of Wiss rugs feature geometric designs, which is an indication of a tribal rug. Its location so close to Hamadan has influenced the local weavers to create their wool rugs using the Hamadan weave, also referred to as the Sennah Baft. These wool rugs are woven with a Turkish symmetrical knot and a single shot of weft between the rows of knots.{{citation needed}}
