Kars / The Kars rugs are woven on the high plains of the northeast of Anatolia, in Turkey. The city has a strong rug-making tradition. Kars is inhabited by Turks and Armenians, which also reflects the variety of rugs made there. The sheep that live here typically have coarse black or brown wool. Kars rugs mostly feature geometric motifs. The motifs most commonly used are butterflies, stars, or cross-shaped medallions. These beautiful rugs are naturally dyed with wool rich in lanolin, using skills passed down through families for generations. They are among the popular rugs for their quality and durability.
