Pakistan rug Tabriz design, hand knotted Design: Tabriz Color: Black border, beige The art of weaving developed in the region comprising Pakistan at a time when few other civilizations employed it. Excavations at Moenjodaro and Harappa, ancient cities of the Indus valley civilization, have established that the inhabitants used spindles and spun a wide variety of weaving materials. Some historians consider that the Indus Valley civilization first developed the use of woven textiles. Carpet weaving may have been introduced into the area of present-day Pakistan as far back as the eleventh century with the coming of the first Muslim conquerors, the Afghan Ghaznavids and the Ghaurids.

Carpet-weaving outside of jails was revived after the independence when Pakistan's carpet-weaving industry flourished.[1] At present, hand knotted carpets are made by Afghan refugees residing in Pakistan, making carpets and one of the country's leading export products.
