Will it be hard-wearing enough for my Hallway?

Runner rugs are made to be walked upon. This Afghan runner was handmade by traditional techniques and natural materials which have been proven to be long lasting over the years.

This Afghan Kazak Runner is made from just wool and cotton. The pile is made from wool which is known for its hardiness, and the foundation threads are made of cotton which is renowned for its strength. 

You can keep your Afghan runner looking at it's best by vacuuming it on a weekly basis, and having it professionally cleaned every five years or so depending on its use. For future reference we have a rug cleaning service.

You should consider using a good quality rug underlay to keep it firmly in place and thus prevent any uneven wear. 

This fine Afghan Kazak Runner was handmade, but how?

This runner was handcrafted by an ancient carpet weaving process of hand-knotting.

A runner such as this would have been woven by one weaver.

The weaver forms the pile by hand-tying tufts of woollen yarns onto pairs of warp strings. The warp strings are the first material to be secured to the loom. They are stretched tightly and evenly from the top beam of the loom to the bottom beam. Each tuft of wool that the weaver ties is called a knot. The knots are tied in rows across the width of the runner. Then weft threads are interlaced between the warps and beaten down against the row of knots. This is then repeated until the runner is completed. 

For the design of the runner, the weaver will follow a plan which is drawn onto paper (like graph paper) which determines the colours and pattern of the rug.
