The colors used in Varamin kilims change with the times; older pieces often feature vibrant hues, while more recent ones tend to use calm, darker colors. While various patterns exist in the designs, geometric patterns known as "Cheshm Gir" are especially characteristic of this region. The primary material is wool, but some kilims also incorporate cotton, creating variations in texture and feel.
