Kerki Weavers

Afghanistan

Welcome to Kerki Weavers, a family-owned Afghan carpet company proudly preserving the art of traditional weaving. Founded in 2002 by Abdul Ghaffar Alaich in a refugee camp, our story is one of resilience, craftsmanship, and cultural heritage. Now based in Aqcha, Jozjan Province, we employ a dedicated team of 50 staff and collaborate with over 5,000 home-based artisans—many of them women—who bring generations of skill to every piece. Each rug is entirely handmade using time-honored techniques. From spinning and natural dyeing to hand-knotting and finishing, every step is done by hand using locally sourced wool and over 100 plant-based dyes from Afghan farmers. We produce 2,000–3,000 meters of rugs each month, focusing on quality, sustainability, and fair wages. Our work has been recognized at international exhibitions and by collectors around the world. In proud partnership with ASEEL, we are honored to bring the world’s finest handmade Afghan rugs to your home—woven with heart, history, and purpose. Thank you for supporting artisan-made craftsmanship. Karki Carpet Production Center.
