Ziegler Rugs themselves is made out of pure wool and colored using vegetable dyes. The lanolin in the wool used to produce these rugs keeps the vegetable dyes locked in for a very long time, giving a very long lasting product. The heavy density and smaller size of the knots in these rugs means it takes very long to knot a single one of these beautiful pieces – since they are all exclusively 100% hand knotted rugs. Ziegler Rugs were first made in Persia, in the province of Arak to be exact. However, they are now made in Afghanistan too, where it goes by the name of “Chobi”.
