Afghan handmade chobi runner 300x84cm

Woven by hand in Afghanistan, this Chobi rug is the sort of piece that gets better with a bit of foot traffic. It's a Chobi-pattern piece, named for the muted, sun-faded palette the style deliberately imitates using vegetable dye rather than fading over decades, and you can see the difference up close. The wool takes natural dye unevenly on purpose, which is what gives a handmade rug that slight variation a machine-made one can't fake.

At 300 x 84 cm (9.8 x 2.8 ft), it's built for a hallway or a narrow stretch beside a kitchen bench. As with any hand-knotted rug, expect small irregularities in the weave — that's the process working as intended, not a flaw. This one's on sale right now — SR 2,900 down to SR 2,772.
