It takes the wool from approximately five sheep to make one
shyrdak rug. The process is slow and labour-intensive. Traditionally shyrdak
rugs have been made by women.
Up to date shyrdak is one of the rarest kind of carpets
weaving in Kyrgyzstan. In order to preserve this tradition for centuries, the
government nominated shyrdak carpets to enter to the UNESCO social heritage
list. All our shyrdaks are 100% handmade by artisans in At Bashy region.

What is a Shyrdak?
A shyrdak is a Kyrgyz felt carpet, one of the oldest and, when it comes
to felt products, one of the most complex in its technique. Felt art is an
integral part of Kyrgyz handicrafts. It would appear to carry with it the
entire life story of the Kyrgyz peoples. Each pattern is laden with the
surrounding world, and the color schemes and techniques speak of the life and
philosophy of the area in which it was made. After all, each region of
Kyrgyzstan has its own unique character.
Since ancient times, and even now, shyrdak is included in the dowry of
the bride. Each mother tries to make a special shyrdak for her daughter,
carefully choosing patterns and ornaments, as it is through them that she
conveys all her innermost desires and blessings. It is a labor of love. It
takes about one year to complete the time-consuming, labor-intensive process,
and requires the wool of five sheep.
The influence of globalization has led to a decrease in demand for
shyrdak in Kyrgyzstan, and up until recently this craft was in danger of
extinction as people stopped using shyrdak rugs altogether. In order to preserve the tradition and skills,
the ornamented felt ala kiyiz and shyrdak rugs were included in the UNESCO
Intangible Cultural Heritage List in December 2012 as an endangered type of
carpet art. You can learn more about Shyrdak and Ala Kiyiz on UNESCO: https://ich.unesco.org/en/USL/ala-kiyiz-and-shyrdak-art-of-kyrgyz-traditional-felt-carpets-00693
Now, expert Kyrgyz craftsmen and women can continue to pass on their
skills and traditional patterns from generation to generation. When you
purchase a shyrdak from Kyrgyz Handmade, you can be confident that they are
made in exactly the same way as they were centuries ago.
