Description

The word Chobi with its various spellings and transliteration (choobi, choubi, chubi) is an attribution from the word “choob” with a long vowel of ”oo” as it sounds in book. “Choob” literally means wood and originally is a Persian word -- -that is used for the same meaning in Urdu as well as some parts of India.
give a muted and antique look of natural wood color that was desired by modern fashion industry.
The hand spinning of wool allows for the beautiful colors of the rugs as well as the absorption of the dye to set perfectly in the wool rug.
Another similarity shared by the two Persian style rugs is the retention of the lanolin due to the vegetable dye that is used in the rugs.
This prevents the lanolin from stripping away from the rug, an issue found in most chemically dyed rugs.
Hand-knotted Chobi rugs are not entirely made by hand. In some cases, a handheld drill gun is used which helps shoot pieces of wool through the backing. Afghan Rugs that are larger in shape and size, are made through big machines known as power looms. If your Chobi rug has more details on its back, it is likely that the rug is of great quality.
