Moroccan Style Hand-Knotted Rugs

New hand-knotted "tulu" rugs skilfully hand-woven in Turkey with highest quality Anatolian wool and tribal Moroccan designs. Tulu is the English pronunciation for the Turkish word, "tüylü" meaning hairy. The technique used for weaving is very similar to "gabbeh" in Iran, "Beni Ourain" rugs of Morrocco and "ryijy" in Finland. All have been produced for functional purposes and in mountainous regions, so they all have thick pile for protection against cold. Their weaving is more coarse so they can be woven faster at home that the sophisticated fine rugs that can only be woven from a pattern in workshops. They mostly had "primitive" designs and used undyed hand-spun wool or few colors. We can also custom make tulu rugs according to your specifications.
