The size is 4'7" x 5'10". Tulu, which loosely translates to "Hairy", is knotted by hand using lustrous and soft Angora hair on handwoven kilims. Nomadic tribes in central Asia used Tulus as blankets to stay warm during the harsh winter weather on the high plains of the Anatolian plateau, as well as mattresses for added warmth and comfort. Today, these stunning tribal pieces with their vibrant colors and bold geometric patterns are a must-have as an accent in any modern space.
