Even in areas of seemingly no pattern there are the natural tonal variations of handspun and hand-dyed wool. This wool pile is created from handspun Afghan Ghazni wool. This type of wool is a high grade wool from sheep that are raised in the high altitude Ghazni province. Because of it's high lanolin content (as the sheep are fed in rich pastures), the wool fleece has not only durablity, but also lustre. As the wool is handspun it takes up dye differently, allowing subtle variations of tone even in areas of seemingly little decoration or pattern. This adds depth and interest to the main field colour. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does Chubi Mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChubi\/ Choobi or Chob-i  or Chobi derives from the word 'wood' and natural colours and dyes that create them. Many Afghan carpets have these natural looking earthy colours from natural vegetable dyes which are used in the creation process. Natural dyes are long associated in the past with indigneous plants and roots for dyeing wool as botanical dyes and natural artisanal dyes of today. These produce the delightful brown tones of this piece in colours of tobacco, walnut and light oak-like colours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Details: \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of Origin: Afghanistan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 306 x 245cm \/ 10'0\" x 8'0\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness: 9mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePile: Wool, Handknotted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarp: Cotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Oriental Rug Merchant Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58081461829963,"sku":null,"price":1260.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1070\/3113\/4539\/files\/Modern-Chubi-3.06x2.45m-MAIN.jpg?v=1786282462","url":"https:\/\/theorientalrugmerchant.co.uk\/products\/modern-design-afghan-chubi-carpet","provider":"The Oriental Rug Merchant Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
