- Soumak Weave Rug - A Kazak soumak weave rug is a type of flat-woven rug that is made using a technique known as soumak weaving. Soumak weaving is a traditional technique that involves wrapping weft threads around the warp threads to create a strong and durable weave.
These rugs are typically made in the Caucasus Mountains of Central Asia, in a region that includes present-day Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. They are known for their bold and colourful designs, which often feature geometric motifs, tribal symbols, and stylized flowers.
The soumak technique used in making Kazak rugs results in a flat, reversible weave that is known for its durability and strength. The carpets are typically made using high-quality wool, which is hand-spun and hand-dyed using natural dyes.
