The Ersari rug is handmade by the Ersari Turkmen of Turmenistan and Uzbekistan. More loosely woven than other Turkmen rugs at about 56 knots per inch, with hand carded and handspun wool throughout, many of these rugs will have a kilim end and braided wool finish. The Ersari people liked to use rich, earthy vegetable dies for the prominent red and the red brown colors in their rugs. Made with 100% wool on a wool foundation.
