Jajim rugs, Jajim carpets

Jajim (also spelt Jijim, djidjim,cicim) refers to a two-sided flatweave comprising narrow warp-faced strips sewn together. They are two-sided as they were originally woven for bedcovers to protect from the extreme cold in the tribal tent. Fine Jajims are woven by some tribes, which are 3 to 4 mm thickness. These Jajims are used for decoration.

Jajims, like kilims, are woven on horizontal loom. Patterns are made within the warps; the wefts can hardly be seen. Motifs can be striped, square, checkered, toothed, plain and parallel lines.
