Traditional Turkmenistan Jajim – flat woven kilim typically woven in square sizes in horizontal loom and are most easily identified by their vertical stripe patterns. Jajim has a very long history and has held an important role in the Persian artistic past. The material used to make the jajims has been usually wool, and the dyes were all vegetable-based. Since wove on horizontal looms is easier due to its speed and practicality, jajims were actively used in daily life. Thicker jajims were used as blankets and horse covers, while thinner jajims were frequently used for decoration and have been prized as luxury items in Iran for centuries. Antique jajims left intact are pretty rare, since it is a common practice to unravel these textiles and use them to repair and restore other rugs.
