Ikat Rug

This hand knotted pile rug is made using 100% natural dyes and handspun wool. This rug is woven with around 100kpi. Weaving takes place in the northern areas of Afghanistan, the home of the Turkmen people. Carpet weaving is perhaps the most essential and revered cultural activity for Turkmen; something which traditionally all women take part in. This rug is woven with a non-tradtional textile design inspired by Uzbek Ikat weavings.
