Tabriz rugs are measured in Raj which is a different way of
measuring knots than any other type of rug. I suppose you could measure any rug
in Raj, But they don’t. Raj is the
number of warps in 7 millimeters or 2 and ¾ inches. This is thye same length as
a standard cigarette.
20 – 35 Raj
20 to 35 Raj is the lowend. They do not tend to be very good
rugs but people buy them because of the price.
40 – 60 Raj
From 40 Raj to 60 Raj these are the rugs for people who want
good rugs to walk upon. One point to
consider is that finer and thinner rugs trend to bunch up and wrinkle.
Over 70
These rugs are not just floor coverings they should be
judged as works of art.

some raised pile designs.
