This carpet is made from hand-spun beige and white sheep wool yarn with small designs of indigo dyed sheep wool and the rare beige yak wool. It is woven in the traditional Changthang style, on a portable backstrap loom characteristic for the nomadic communities. This type of carpet is called "Pherri" and traditionally used as a blanket. It is a flat weave and approximately 7mm thick. The carpet consists of 6 panels. It creates a really warm yet minimalist atmosphere. It is spun and woven by our team of settled nomads close to the city of Leh. Additional information about the weaving and the tradition here.Our carpets are made to order so please allow 3-4 weeks for your carpet to be sent to you.
Please note: This carpet is entirely made by hand. Irregularities in thickness of yarn are characteristic to the craft of handspinning. Sometimes, the width in panels varies slightly.
