These kilims are woven using all handcarded, handspun wool from Afghanistan and all vegetable dyes. These kilims have a slightly rough primitive texture with subtle abrash from vegetable dyes makes them look much like old kilims. Designs are primarily Persian tribal designs. Sizes are small-ranging from 3’ x 3’ to 5’ x 8’, including runners up to 10 feet long.
