Hosseinabad rugs originate from Hosseinabad, located in west central Iran south of the city of Hamadan, Hosseinabad produces some of the better quality village rugs from the Hamadan region. The majority of Hosseinabad rugs are very long rug runners. They are tribal rugs that are hand woven by semi-nomadic people. Hosseinabad rugs are extremely durable and long lasting due in large part to the quality of the wool, which is spun from sheep living in higher altitudes with cooler temperatures. The local artisans weave very high quality rug runners primarily using the Turkish symmetrical knot with an average KPSI (knots per square inch) of approximately 82.
