The tribal design is equally enchanting, showing a repeating theme of stepped diamond emblems as well as highly stylised complimenting floral motifs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFind out what this Afghan Chobi tribal design mat is made from\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis small Afghan rug was handmade by using traditional, natural materials. It has a woollen pile, which is not only luxurious but is tough and long-lasting. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe woollen pile is hand-spun and dyed with natural dyes. The beauty of the hand-spun wool is that it is a stronger fibre than a machine spun yarn. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will notice that this rug has a short cotton fringe. The fringe or tassels on each end of this small Afghan rug are the warp threads. Each single tassel of fringe runs through rug and reappears a the other end. The cotton warps are therefore the yarns upon which the knots are tied. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow was this Chobi small rug made?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing upon Afghanistan's rich carpet weaving heritage, this Afghan Chobi mat was handmade utilising rug making methods that have been honed over generations. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wool pile, which shows the beautiful colours and design that we find so appealing, was made by hand-knotting.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand-knotting is the pinnacle of handmade rugs. Each tuft of pile is formed by the weaver from a hand-tied knot. The weaving is thus meticulous and time-consuming. The result speaks for itself. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing this small Afghan rug in your home\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoasting beautiful colours, this handmade Afghan Chobi tribal design rug is a practical small rug that can be placed in numerous locations around your home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can be positioned in plenty of places.
