About the Item

Turkish origin name for rugs made by villagers for domestic use, often in small sizes, due to loom size restrictions inside homes. They are woven as thick, shaggy rugs using the softest yarn available to provide warmth and insulation during winter months. They are used as bedding, floor covering, or seat cover as well as wall hanging. Almost every rug producing area with cold winters has their own version of those rugs, such as Berber rugs in the Atlas mountains of Morocco and Gabbeh in the desert and mountain regions of Iran. In Afghanistan, they are known as “bear rugs.” When new, the long pile distorts the pattern and creates an illusion effect, but when the pile wears short after several years of usage, the woven pattern becomes more pronounced and graphic. Our Afghan made Tulu's are sheared to a low pile to partially expose the wefts resulting in a high or low textured surface. Since the wool is not ‘sorted’ by color and is unbleached, a natural color variation is produced giving them even more depth and personality. Very often, yarns are undyed, using black, charcoal, grays, and various shades of browns and creams as grown by the sheep.

Afghan Tulu carpets, are a type of handwoven rug originating from Afghanistan. "Tulu" refers to the long pile or shaggy texture of the rug. These rugs are known for their unique and distinctive appearance, featuring a thick, plush pile that creates a soft and luxurious feel underfoot. The word "Tulu" is derived from the Persian word "tolu," meaning hairy or shaggy. Afghan Tulu rugs are traditionally made by Afghan artisans, particularly from the Turkmen and Hazara tribes. They are crafted using a combination of traditional hand-weaving techniques and high-quality wool, resulting in a durable and textured rug. The pile of Afghan Tulu rugs is typically made of long, soft wool fibers that are loosely woven, giving them a cozy and fluffy appearance. The shaggy texture provides excellent insulation and warmth, making these rugs ideal for cold climates. They often feature geometric patterns, intricate designs, or tribal motifs, reflecting the cultural heritage and craftsmanship of Afghanistan. Afghan Tulu rugs come in various sizes, colors, and designs, allowing for versatility in home decor. They can be used as area rugs in living rooms, bedrooms, or even as decorative pieces hung on walls. Due to their handcrafted nature, each rug is unique and may contain slight variations, adding to their charm and character. These rugs have gained popularity worldwide for their exquisite craftsmanship and the warmth they bring to interior spaces. Afghan Tulu rugs are not only functional but also serve as beautiful works of art, showcasing the rich weaving traditions of Afghanistan. Eliko Rugs by David Ariel...
