Kazak Ghazni / Afghanistan

The city of Ghazni, also known as Ghazna, is a historic city in Afghanistan with a long and rich history dating back to ancient times. As an important junction along the Silk Road, Ghazni played a central role in the cultural and political life of the region. The city is located in the Ghazni province of the same name in eastern Afghanistan and is famous for the production of high-quality, hand-spun oriental carpets.

Hand-knotted

This Kazak rug is made on looms by experienced craftsmen in the Ghazni region. Each individual knot is knotted by hand onto the base fabric of the rug, which requires careful and precise work. Both the price and the durability of a rug are significantly influenced by the quality of the materials used and the density of the knots. The knotting of Kazak rugs is a traditional craft that is passed down from generation to generation. It takes a great deal of patience, skill and attention to detail to produce a high-quality rug. Every step in the manufacturing process, from the selection of the wool to the final assembly of the patterns, is crucial to the final product. Each Kazak rug reflects the craftsmanship and cultural tradition associated with the Ghazni region.

Handspun wool

This rug is made from hand-spun sheep's wool. The use of this material makes it an environmentally friendly choice, as no chemical treatments or additives are required. Thanks to their natural fats, these rugs are particularly hard-wearing and resistant to water and dirt. The pleasant feel of carpets made from hand-spun sheep's wool helps to create a cosy atmosphere in a room.

Ghazni highland sheep`s wool

Wool is still the most important fibre for the production of carpets. The wool from highland sheep is particularly high-quality and hard-wearing. It offers greater strength than the wool of lowland sheep. Ghazni highland sheep wool is coarse and thick, which makes it good for making warm and hard-wearing carpets. The colour of the wool can vary and ranges from white to grey and various shades of brown. Highland sheep farmers often strive for sustainable animal husbandry practices to minimise environmental impact. The wool from these sheep is a natural and renewable resource. Overall, highland sheep's wool is a unique and valued material that combines tradition and functionality.
