These carpets are newly made and luckily, are still being produced, they are hand-knotted using tightly spun wool. Kazak Rugs have a short pile with a beautiful sheen, almost like silk which is due to the superior hand spun wool used and the gentle washing process of the rug after it has been woven. The designs are Caucasian in origin having first been produced by Armenian weavers in the 1800’s. Patterns have been passed down through the generations. The designs are colourful, bold and geometric with beautiful abrash with no two being the same.
