In recent years, the innovative Afghan carpet producers have been recreating old tribal-like patterns in colour schemes appealing to modern tastes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditionally, handmade Afghan rugs were mostly made in colours of red and black. The historic designs typically features a repeating theme of emblems known as \"guls\". \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cinnamon Waziri rug continues this design format, but in a modern uplifting colour-way. We love the way the weaver has created each of the nine gul motifs in different colour configurations. This is repeated over and over. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is this Afghan rug made from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn keeping with tradition, this handmade Afghan rug was made with a woollen pile and cotton foundation materials. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfghan wool is notoriously hard wearing, but luxurious underfoot. The cotton foundations provide a solid base for the rug. These underlying threads are known as the warps. The warp threads are the earliest yarns to be attached to the loom before the rug weaving starts. They are vital threads upon which the knots are tied. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou might be interested to know that the warp threads also serve as the rug's tassels, each tassel runs through the rug and out the other end. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow was this cinnamon-brown rug made?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 6x4 brown Afghan rug was handmade using an archaic carpet weaving technique that has been tried and trusted for generations. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe exquisite woollen pile, that we enjoy, was hand-knotted. On a hand-knotted rug, each tuft of pile is formed from a knot. The weaver secures the knots in rows across the width, and follows each completed row by weaving a number of threads (known as wefts) between the warps. The weft threads are firmly compacted against the row of knots. This process is repeated over and over. All of the knots in the rug work in union to form the colours and design of the rug. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing this handmade Afghan rug in your home\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis handmade rug is a durable quality that will serve you well for many years.
