The origin of Afghan wool carpets

Afghan wool carpets are made in the northern part of Afghanistan, an area inhabited by nomads and villagers. Afghan rugs add a warm atmosphere to your home with their varied motifs and colours as a living room rug, bedroom rug or even for corridors as a runner rug. Afghan wool carpets after making and shearing are washed four times and then sun-dried, they are also colour-fast. Its colours are derived from nature. Certain colours can only be bought from one family, and the secret of this colour has been kept for a long time, such as the Khalmohamadi family. Hence, the name of the Khalmohamadi oriental carpet. Afghan rugs are made of durable and strong wool. The carpets are not made in large factories, but in the homes of the carpet weavers (Karkhana), hence they are called Kargai carpets. It is 100% Handmade carpet, from the first knotting till the washing, every task is done by man. A 200x300 rug can take up to 6-12 months to make.
