Woollen Carpets (Dari)
The craft of making woollen carpets or dari using traditional techniques has been popular since centuries in the region adjacent to Madhiyah tehsil of the district. A range of hand knotted woollen carpets or durries are hand tufted by the local artisans. A carpet is a textile floor covering typically consisting of an upper layer of pile attached to a backing. The pile usually consists of twisted tufts which are typically heat-treated to maintain their structure. The products made by the craftsmen here are also exported to other regions through which employment is generated.
