HOT ! Afghan Faryab Kilim Runner

Faryab kilims come from northern Afghanistan, woven almost entirely by women passing the craft from mother to daughter across generations. The patterns carried in these kilims are a visual language handed down within families, and every weaver brings her own interpretation to it.

This kilim is hand-woven from Ghazni wool, from the Ghazni sheep of Afghanistan, widely regarded as some of the finest carpet wool in the world. It holds dye exceptionally well, which is why the colours in a Faryab kilim stay rich and true over decades of use. The weave is tighter and finer than a standard Afghan kilim, which gives the geometric tribal patterns a greater level of detail and the surface a more refined finish.

It is a flatweave with no pile, constructed entirely from wool and fully reversible. When one side shows wear, you flip it. A rug that effectively has two lives.
