Handwoven wool Kilim rug from Turkmen artisans of Afghanistan. These rugs are a traditional technique with geometric designs and are durable and reversible. With a 'no-waste' approach to weaving, the women incorporate pieces of yarn scraps from other weaving work to create these rugs. Since the Taliban took control of the country, rug weaving and farming are the only means rural women have to earn an income. This collection comes to us from the same group as the Turkmen felted rugs and we feel honored to represent these talented and hard working weavers. Colors: cream, gray, light gray and more. Great runner rug.

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.
