This unique and varied collection is produced in Afghanistan using the Ziegler weave. The traditional methods of shearing wool from the indigenous Karukal sheep, then hand-spun and coloured using natural vegetable and mineral dyes. Many of these pieces have utilised old Ziegler designs and patterns, with one subtle difference: these carpets and rugs, which are hand-knotted, have many more colours. They generally are more vibrant and less 'old' looking. With reduced washes, the exciting and uplifting colours remain almost Jewel-like. The final finishing processes are carried out in Pakistan, where some post-production occurs. This will mean alignment corrections, surface clipping and tumbling, and the washing mentioned earlier.
