Have
you ever seen a rug loom of 50 meters width. Well - Iran Rug Company,
Mashad has got hold of a enormous rug loom. According to the company's
sales manager Fereidoun Haghighi the loom is probably the largest in Iran.
But, as he says to Jozan Magazine, we should not be surprised if we see larger ones in the future.
"The loom was constructed in the city of Nishabour in Khorasan province for our company since we are a major carpet producer in Iran.
This
loom, in terms of dimensions and its artistic composition, with adjustable length and 50 meters width is unique in Iran. It consists of two movable beams to which warps are attached, the complete work is rolled on to lower beam and makes it ideal for weaving very long rugs, also in some cases rugs are woven in
series which could be perfect option for large orders of similar rugs with the same size and
design", he continues.
According to Fereidoun Haghighi the loom is capable to accommodate 60 weavers at any time of the operation.
