VISS (WISS) is a small town near the city of Hamedan with a very interesting population mix: there are Kurds, Turkish people, and nomadic people of Bakhtiari. These tribes have influenced the rugs and carpets produced in Viss. The majority of Viss rugs have geometric designs, which is an indication of a tribal rug. Carpets made in Viss (Wiss), like Hamedan rugs and carpets, have nomadic patterns. Usually one single medallion much larger than that of other styles is an indication of a Viss. There are some unusual patterns produced in Viss, including a repetitive motif all around the rug that is hard to find. Viss (Wiss) rugs and carpets are of high quality and have excellent durability. They maintain their coloration for a long time.Viss carpets come in different sizes, but the majority of them are mid-size (4x6 to 8x 10 feet). Dark red, khaki, and light blue are the major colors used in Viss rugs and carpets. They are made of a soft wool and have a thick, tight pile. The warps of the foundation are mostly cotton while the wefts are either cotton or wool. Weavers in Viss (Wiss) use flat-woven knots. These rugs are among the finest quality carpets.
