The soul of a Qashqai rug lies in its raw, natural materials.
Hand-Spun Wool: Sourced from sheep raised at high altitudes, the wool is hand-spun to retain rich levels of lanolin. This results in a soft, oily, and highly durable finish that naturally resists wear and stains.
Botanical Dyes: The rich, organic color palette is derived directly from the mountains—madder root for deep reds, pomegranate skins for yellows, and indigo for intense blues. Unlike flat chemical dyes, these natural hues are complex and mature beautifully over decades.
