Their place of manufacture, east of Isfahan, led them to be considered among the Khorasan types while still representing a distinct group. They are tightly knotted and therefore very durable.

The Na'in style resembles the Isfahan in its balance of colors and the delicate articulation of the designs, apart from the colors used.
The commonly used shades are blues and blacks laid on cream or white backgrounds (our model), sometimes combined with straw yellow, but also, more rarely, deep red.
