In recent years, the wave of economic sanctions has overshadowed Iran's economy with the aim of reducing the financial power, national welfare and disbelief, and a new confrontation has opened up on the Iranian economy. With respect to special importance and role of carpet weaving and its place in the country's economy, identifying and studying the recent problems of hand-made carpet weavers along with economic sanction is essential. The purpose of this research is to formulate and validate a conceptual framework via thematic analysis through descriptive in-depth semi-structured interviews. The statistical population includes carpet weavers in Arbatan city in East Azarbaijan province, among whom 20 carpet weavers were selected by purposeful sampling and participated in this study. The findings show that the challenges in four main themes include individual challenges, production and sales challenges and administrators challenges and 33 sub-themes. Finally, according to the results of the research, suggestions have been made like the development of low-cost supportive financial facilities, systematization and organization of in-country raw material processing mechanisms and appropriate advertising in global markets to solve carpet weaving problems.
