Gharadjeh rugs are hand woven by nomads that live between the Caspian Sea and Tabriz. This region in Iran is known for being the most influential area in the world when it comes to the development of the modern day rug industry. These beautiful and durable rugs come in very long lengths, making them ideal for use as a stair runner. In North America the stair runner is much more commonly used than in Europe, but the trend is definitely catching on. Men and women of the tribe are both trained as skilled weavers. The Turkish knot is the one most commonly used on Gharadjeh rugs and the average KPSI (knots per square inch) is approximately 53.[citation needed]
