Jajim
Jajim ( Persian جاجیم, DMG Ǧāǧīm ; also Djadjim ) are flat woven fabrics and related to the better known kilims . In contrast to the classically woven kilims (these are mostly one or two strips of woven material, which may be sewn together), jajim have several strips. Often there are six to eight parts, often of identical design.
It is not uncommon for jajim to be between 200 and 250 cm long and between 130 and 180 cm wide. These relatively rare flat woven fabrics, which are more like a blanket than a carpet, were primarily made by the Shah Savan nomads of Iran . However, there are also pieces from Turkey , the Caucasus , and southern Persia that were made by Kashgai , Afshar , or Balochistan nomads.
