Turkmen Carpet
.
Everybody seems to be fascinating about Turkmen Carpet. For me, it is not the carpet itself but more to the culture and uniqueness of the design. There are no other colors except black, white and red. The design almost consistent if compared to one to another. To take home the carpet is not that easy. The government imposed strict rules and regulations to take home the carpet. The carpet must have the certificate. If not it will be confiscated at the airport. There will be extra surcharge depend on the size of the carpet. I was told by the seller that lately the restriction to export the carpet was uplifted. But I was not that sure. Anyway İ would like to purchase one of the carpet as a sourvenir once the project complete with a reasonable price and size.

Varieties of size and design. The size as big as a praying mat was about USD 20.

You can choose the one made of silk or wool with different prices.


I was told by my local friend that for as big as 12'x10', can take more that a month to complete and it is not easy to finish becacuse you really need to waive and tread them carefully just like you are doing the cross stitch when come to study the design.

If there are oppurtunity why dont bring those carpet to Malaysia and become the agent??...hahahahahhaha
