Nain carpets belong to the finest handicrafts of Iran. The city lies on the border of one of Iran's largest deserts, the Dasht-e-Kavir.
Carpets from Nain have their own categorization, which divides them into classes. Depending on the knotting density, a distinction is made between 4La, 6La, 9La and 12La.
Traditional Nain patterns have a central medallion surrounded by floral patterns. Typically Nain carpets are dyed red, blue or beige on the surface.
