Julkhyr rugs are long coarse rugs with long pile made in Uzbekistan as sleeping rugs. They are often sewn together in two pieces. The primary material used in Julkhyr rugs is hand-spun wool, which gives them a soft, durable texture. Traditional Julkhyr rugs use natural dyes derived from plants, roots, and insects to create vibrant, earthy colors. Wool is often sourced locally from sheep raised in the region.
