'''Hashtrood rugs''' originate from Hashtrood, located in Eastern Azerbaijan, southeast of Tabriz and north of Zanjan. The name Hashtrood literally means 8 rivers – Hasht means 8 and Rood means river – due to its location in close proximity to the 8 rivers of the region. Hashtrood rugs are well known to be woven in long rug runner sizes, although other sizes are available.
