Afghan Rugs: Yacub Khani Rug

Yacub Khani Rug

Size: 3 foot 6 inch by 6 foot 6 inch.

This is a very pretty new Yacub Khani Rug in a traditional pattern. The Yacub Khani are Timuri who returned to Afghanistan in the time of Yacub Khan. this rug is a new handmade pile rug from Afghanistan.  It is handmade and in new condition.

The physical characteristics of Yacub Khani wool are interesting. The wool has a more bristly feel than most of the wool used in Northwest Afghanistan. It is more like Mushwanni wool.
