| This rug is in new, perfect condition. The knotting is excellent and the wool is very good hand spun Ghazni wool. Recently, though, warrug.com learned that some of the best hand spun wool in Afghan "Chobi" rugs is imported from Iraq and Saudi Arabia.
This rug is surprisingly heavy from its dense, thick wool and somewhat long pile. |
| Wool: Very good. See above. | Sheen: Very good | Handle: Very sturdy and stiff. Thicker and denser than normal. All double knotted Turkmen rugs have dense, thick foundations, but this one is particularly dense. | Selvedge: Integrated, naturally attached selvedge which is one thick cord overcast in blue wool matching the field color. |
| Fringe: Persian closure with three inch white fringe. | Pile: 6mm extra dense wool. | Warp: White cotton | Weft: Double wefted with two thin shoots of white cotton |
| Warp Depression:Near full warp depression, but slight valley between rows of depressed warps which show the hidden node. | |||
