Chobi 151x101

Afghan hand-knotted Chobi carpet, also known as Ziegler, is a very popular style. These carpets have their own unique features and are known in international markets as 'Afghani Chobi' or 'Ziegler'. Since the early 1990s, Afghanistan has been supplying these styles to international markets. We use hand-spun wool yarn from Ghazni, dyed with natural vegetable dyes derived from wood. In the Dari language, 'Chob' means wood. Therefore, these carpets are called 'Chobi', referring to their natural color created by the vegetable dye.
