Handmade Wool Felt Truth Rug Afghanistan (48" x 72")

These durable 100% felted wool rugs, from natural colored fleece, are handmade by a women’s Association in northern Afghanistan. The design, inspired in reaction to the Taliban’s brutality, who took over the women’s homeland a couple years ago, reads “Truth Beauty Love” written in Turkmeni and is a collaboration between Cultural Cloth and the artists. We've represented this group for over 10 years; our purchases help the women continue to have income - especially during this difficult time of the Covid pandemic. Each rug is handmade; size may vary. The writing is charcoal on heathered white/light grey background. There is a charcoal woven border around the rug.

Turkmen Felt Rug Makers

These one-of-a-kind felted rugs are the result of a long-standing partnership with a Turkmen tribal group in Northern Afghanistan. Using a traditional felting process passed down through generations, these artisans transform local sheep’s wool into thick, durable, and beautiful textiles.
