These tribal rugs featured quirky designs that had a modern appearance. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfghan Gabbeh rugs have developed a style of their own, with popular designs showing themes of stripes, squares and sometimes plain rugs.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat this handmade Gabbeh rug is made from:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Afghan rug differs slightly from Persian Gabbeh rugs.

It doesn't just look nice, this Afghan wool is robust and hard wearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pile height, which is approximately 8mm, is shorter than most Persian Gabbeh rugs. However, the quality of the tightly hand-spun wool and the fine knotting more than makes up for this.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cotton element contained in this Afghan rug are the warp threads. These are the foundation yarns of the rug. The warps are the long cotton strings that were attached to the loom before the weaver started creating the rug. You can see that these warps are cotton, as they also double as the rug's fringes. Each strand of fringe therefore travels the whole length of the rugs and the exposed excess of warp becomes the fringe. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow this Gabbeh rug was handmade\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe process behind making a handmade rug like this is time-consuming.

The weaver (one weaver would have made this rug), knots in rows from one side of the loom to the other. After a row of knots is completed, the threads called wefts are woven between the warps which are beaten against the line of knots. This is repeated over and over until the rug is completed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of the different coloured knots collaborate to make the pattern of the rug. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThis rug is a practical choice for use in your home\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade from durable natural yarns, this Afghan rug will serve you well for many years.
