Handwoven carpet in Afghanistan
Afghan handwoven carpet is created by knotting dyed wools or silk wools. Afghanistan's hand-woven carpet is 100% traditionally woven by hand with different designs and colors by carpet weavers who generally have less facilities.
The carpet weaving industry in Afghanistan has a long history and in recent years it constitutes the major part of Afghanistan's export sector. The competitiveness of the Afghan carpet industry is recognized to a large extent through the skills of Afghan carpet weavers in producing high quality carpets. The Afghan government, the private sector, non-governmental organizations and international industrialists have fully understood the importance of the carpet sector because the said industry has been an important source of income for the residents of the villages, especially for women who have lost their economic capabilities during the years of war, a good factor. It is to create job opportunities and eliminate poverty.
