Quality
Welayati Kurk wool is prized for its supple hand and subtle sheen, giving this rug a smooth, durable pile that ages beautifully. At 92 knots per square inch, the structure is dense enough to hold fine lines and sharp angles, so each geometric unit reads cleanly. The cotton foundation adds stability underfoot, helping the rug lie flat and wear evenly over time.
Origin & Craftsmanship
Hand-knotted in Maymana, Afghanistan, this piece draws from the Turkmen Yousifby tradition—ordered grids, disciplined symmetry, and emblematic motifs that speak to centuries of pattern memory. Each knot is set by hand on the loom, row by row, building a rhythm that you can see in the exacting repeats and feel in the confident weight of the finished rug.
