About Khal Mohammadi Rugs
Khal Mohammadi rugs are the premium weave of the Ersari Turkmen tradition from northern Afghanistan, named after master weaver and dyer Khal Mohammad, whose layered madder-red dyeing process defines the style. Known for their rich crimson fields, crisp repeating gul medallions, and soft hand-spun wool with a natural sheen, these hand-knotted rugs combine dense craftsmanship with everyday durability. Each piece brings warmth, depth, and timeless tribal character to living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, and offices.
- Vacuum regularly on a low or no-beater-bar setting, taking care around the fringe.
- Rotate the rug every 6-12 months for even wear.
- Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth rather than rubbing.
- Keep out of prolonged direct sunlight to help preserve color.
- We recommend a rug pad underneath to prevent slipping and extend the rug's life.
- For deeper cleaning, use a wool-safe professional rug cleaner every 1-2 years.
