Ferdos rugs originate from Ferdos, a small town in the Province of Khorassan in northeastern Iran. Rug weaving in Khorasan goes back thousands of years. Known for their beautiful hand made traditional rugs, Ferdos was also the birthplace of Ferdowsi, one of Iran's greatest poets and scholars. Ferdos boasts the first tribal members to weave traditional rugs for personal use as well as for trade. Even today, the Ferdos villagers produce the finest quality traditional rugs with the same marvelous technique that they’ve been using for centuries. Jufti knots are seen in traditional rugs from this region. They are like the Persian knot with depressed warps but the knot loops around two warps at a time rather than one.[citation needed]
