Glim and Jajim are two varieties of rugs begun by Persian women in the southwest of Iran about 3000 years ago.

As a young lady, I was vaguely aware of Khatam, though it was all around.

The Qashqai are famous for their magnificent Jajim and rugs and other woven wool products.

It has taken over thousands of years of evolving technique to achieve what we now know as the Persian Rug.
