Woven with a Ghazni handspun wool pile, this rug offers a rich texture, natural resilience, and long-lasting durability. Ghazni wool is valued for its strength and character, allowing the rug to hold its shape and beauty through years of use. The cotton foundation provides structure and stability, while the 82 KPSI knot count gives the pattern clear definition without losing the handmade warmth that makes Afghan rugs so distinctive.
