Kars / The Kars rugs are woven on the high plains of northeastern Anatolia, Turkey. The city has a rich tradition of rug making. Kars is inhabited by Turks and Armenians, which also reflects the variety of rugs produced there. The sheep living here generally have coarse, thick black or brown wool. Most Kars rugs feature geometric patterns. The most common motifs are butterflies, stars, or medallions in the shape of a cross. These beautiful rugs are naturally dyed with wool rich in lanolin, using skills that have been passed down through families for generations. They are popular for their quality and durability.
