The Afghan Ziegler style, or Chobi style, is mainly made by Turkmen tribes of Afghanistan settled in the northern provinces of Faryab, Jawozjan, and Mazar-e-Sharif. The wool used is hand spun and then dyed using natural vegetable dyes before being hand knotted using a unique technique of twisting the yarn twice before double knotting. The rugs are then transported to Pakistan where they are expertly finished including washing and trimming using the traditional methods. The word Chobi translates from traditional Afghan language Dari to mean ‘wood', referring to the natural colours used in the designs. Within the last 30 years Ziegler designs have been rediscovered and old ideas revived. The wool used is from the central Ghazni province of Afghanistan.
