Handmade Afghan Yakash Kazak Runner

This is a brand new authentic Yakash Kazak runner, handmade in Afghanistan.

Originally, Kazak rugs were produced in the Caucasus region of Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia. However, these designs have been revived and reinterpreted in Afghanistan. They are woven in the northern cities of  Mazari-Sharif, Sheberghan, and Andkhoy. 

These rugs are known for their intricate geometric design consisting of medallions, 'sunburst' or snowflake-like emblems, and hooked polygons. They use various colours including reds, blues, browns, greens and beige. These high contrast colours differ from less saturated Afghan rugs.

They are woven using the asymmetrical Turkish (Ghiordes) knot and often have a medium-low pile to bring out the detailed fine design. This is especially true for 'Super Kazak' rugs which are much more detailed than ordinary Kazak rugs. They also use finer wool, which gives the rugs a lustre.

Non-Straight Edges: Some rugs may not have completely straight edges due the handmade-nature of the rugs and rigorous production process of washing, dyeing and trimming. Usually these are not noticeable from eye-height.

Creases: Some rugs may have minor creases due to being folded and stored. These are usually flattened out once they are laid out and in the course of normal foot traffic and vacuuming. You can also flatten creases by applying some water to the crease and applying gentle heat using an iron, indirectly over another cloth.

Colour: The colours and shades may vary slightly due to the lighting when photos are taken. This means that the carpet you receive may look slightly different from the picture. Additionally, carpets naturally have a "light" side and a "dark" side, which is determined by the orientation of the wool pile. This is a characteristic of carpets and should be taken into consideration when choosing a carpet.
