Heriz Carpets : Heriz is located in Northwestern Iran, in Azerbaijan northeast of Tabriz. Extremely durable carpets with the same name are woven here, on the slopes of Mount Sabalan. The new Heriz rugs are thicker and very tightly woven. These rugs become more and more beautiful as they age. In the area high quality and very durable wool is produced, because the sheep's drinking water contains traces of copper which is found in Mount Sabalan. The carpets are often woven with geometric designs and a large medallion that dominates the centre. The designs are traditional and they are woven from memory. Black and red herbal colors are the most common. Similar carpets from neighbouring towns and villages such as Ahar, Mehraban, Sarab, Bakhshaish and Goravan are sold under the name Heriz but should not be comfused with the Heriz rugs.

Nomadic carpets with designs influenced by urban carpets: They are carpets woven by nomads who for the past few years had been living in villages. The carpets are woven in the nomadic style of weaving, but their designs are nowadays influenced by urban carpets. Due to the nomadic style of weaving carpets are sometimes uneven in shape.

All CarpetU2 carpets are subject to cleaning with high quality antibacterial and moth protection products according to Persian law.

Abrash: Due to the different amount of grease in the wool and the added salt during the process of dyeing, the wool has got a varying colour absorbance. This is not very visible before weaving. During the weaving though, lines of the same colour are formed in the carpet. This is called Abrash (which in Farsi means little cloud) and it shows that the wool was not manufactured using chemical means and marks the naturalness and authenticity of the carpets. Examples
