Turkmen Kilim Weavers Weaving

In the heart of rural Afghanistan, a rich tapestry of tradition and resilience is woven. Turkmen artisans, both men and women within the cooperative, meticulously craft one-of-a-kind Kilims. Sourcing wool from local sheep herders, men hand dye the yarn while women take the lead on the sorting, spinning, and everything else - preserving centuries-old techniques. Each Kilim, a masterpiece woven on traditional looms, reflects the unique artistry and heritage of the Turkmen people.
