About Afghan Turkomen Rugs
Turkmen rugs are hand-knotted floor-covering textiles from Central Asia. It's important to differentiate between traditional Turkmen tribal carpets and those mass-produced in Pakistan for export.
Turkmen tribes, the dominant ethnic group in Turkmenistan and Afghanistan, made the first Turkmen carpets. They are utilized as tent rugs, door hangings, and various-sized bags.
History
Most Turkmen carpets were made by nomadic nomads using herd wool and vegetable or other natural colors from the region a few centuries ago. The Yomut, Ersari, Saryk, Salor, and Tekke tribes are noted for their geometrical patterns.

Many rug collectors find them charming.
Large rug workshops in cities have developed, anomalies have decreased, and technology has evolved. Synthetic dyes have been used alongside natural colors since 1910. Nomads' portable looms restrict the size of their carpets; communities have always made bigger rugs, but they're now more frequent. Cotton warp and weft threads are also prevalent.
Afghan carpets sometimes resemble Turkmen rugs. Afghanistan makes several "Bokhara"-style, inexpensive, coarse carpets for export. However, many Afghans with Turkmen patterns are excellent less
