These types of oriental carpets are made in northern Afghanistan, an area of Turkmen nationality inhabited by townspeople and villagers. They are among the best Afghan carpets. They lend a unique atmosphere to your home with their diverse world of motifs and colours. They are very dense and knotted from the best fine wool, so they are very shiny and change colour on all sides just like silk. These types of wool carpets are said to be Belzsik because the raw material of New Zealand wool was imported from Belgium to Afghanistan after yarn making. Since the yarns came from Belgium, the makers gave it the name Beljik, but it is actually a kind of khalmohamedi type wool carpet made from the finest wool by dense knotting. Khal Mohammad is the name of an Afghan gentleman. He also discovered the colour of the Belzsik Afghan carpet type. This wool carpet is washed and dried in the sun four times after preparation and shearing, and it is also colour-fast. Many people think that the denser and thicker the carpet, the better and more durable it is. Thickness is a matter of shear. Durability is the result of the density of the knot and the associated material quality.
We hope you enjoy your hand made carpet purchased from us and enjoy using it.
