Guide to Karagashli Carpets

Karagashli is a village in Russian Daghestan south of Derbent but it's rugs are counted as Kuba since Karagashli was in the Persian Khanate of Kuba. I see Karagashli as a degenerate form of the Harshang carpets of the 18th and 19th centuries
Karagashli are a slightly finer than the average Kuba in that their average knot count 135 - 145 knots per square inch.
