How it all started?
Khal Mohammadi rugs are named after their visionary founder, Khal Mohammad. In the 1960s, Khal Mohammad began this venture in the peaceful Faryab district of Northern Afghanistan. A passionate collector of antique rugs, he established a legacy that continues to thrive today. Yamil Craft proudly upholds this heritage as a third-generation business, preserving the artistry and dedication instilled by Khal Mohammad.
The timeless design
Mr. Khal, the founder of Khal Mohammadi rugs, introduced a groundbreaking star-shaped octagonal geometric pattern that had never been seen before in handmade rugs. This extraordinary design pushed the boundaries of rug-making and sparked a new wave of creativity. The unparalleled uniqueness of this pattern has earned Khal Mohammadi rugs the reputation as “geometric perfections,” showcasing their innovative approach that continues to fascinate rug enthusiasts around the globe.
The strikingly bold red
The distinguishing characteristic of Khal Mohammadi rugs is their rich and captivating red color, which represents wealth and carries deep historical significance. The vibrant shade is achieved through a meticulous dyeing process using root madder dye, infusing the fibers with a timeless hue that represents prosperity in Afghan culture. Each rug showcases nature’s artistry by expertly deriving this cherished red tone from the madder flower.
