Woven History's projects in Pakistan involve Turkmen, Uzbek, Hazara, and Tadjik refugees, all of whom are from Afghanistan.
These people are, historically, some of the finest weavers. We provide the materials (wool, dyes, etc.,) designs, color combinations, sizes, and quality. Most of the designs are traditional, which we revive, including the Pazyryk, the oldest known carpet in history, fragments of which now reside in The Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg.

At our looms in Nepal we produce some of the finest Tibetan carpets in 60 knot (per square inch) and 100 knot quality. Hand-spun, hand-carded, hand-combed Himalayan wool is used, which is all
vegetable dyes, hence these carpets are hand-washable.

The designs are traditional, some of which we revive. We also introduce designs from the outside, such as the arts and crafts designs by William Morris. Our non-traditional Himalayan village design rugs are very popular.

Woven History has a large selection of old and new Turkish rugs, such as kilims, cicims, saddle bags (heybes), feed bags (boleshes), traditional Central Asian silk overcoats (chopans), needle-work from the Ferghana
Valley in Uzbekistan (suzanis), and wheat-bags (chuvals). Additionally, we have the largest collection of Caucasian sumacs (double-stitched, hand-embroidered rugs), suzanis, pillow cases, and vegetable-dyed tribal and village rugs in the Washington, D.C. area.
