Soumac
Both a weaving technique and a product thereof. Technically, it involves a progressive and continuous wrapping of warps by pattern wefts on the loom to form a pileless carpet, heavier than a kilim. Exact versions of the method may vary depending on location. Most popular in the Caucasus, especially around Kuba and northwest Iran, one version or another appears elsewhere in Persia. In the Caucasus this process results I room size carpets up to 9 x 13. Besides Kuba the Karabagh, Shirvan and other districts also indulge in the artform. The Shah savan tribes of Persian Azerbaijan use the technique to construct saddle bags and other household carryalls. The two sides of a Soumac are not identical.
