Rug Story :

Today, Pakistan is one of the main hand-made carpet exporter countries. Since 1947, when Indian Muslims immigrated to this country, weaving flourished and became common and immigrants gave more flourish to it. Wool is one of the most important factors of weaving, which is produced from local animals. In addition to woollen carpets, they weave silk carpets too, which imports its silk from other countries. This country?s carpet designs are imitations of Kashan, Isfahan and Turkmen carpet images (Iranian designs). It is not uncommon to find that a majority of carpets and rugs made in Pakistan today are done so by Afghan refugees, as Afghanistan was once a major exporter of Hand-Woven carpets. Various vegetable and other natural dyes are used to produce the rich colors. The rugs are mostly of medium sizes. Many patterns and colors are used.
