The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

An igsalyk is a specialised narrow woven bag traditionally created by nomadic Turkmen weavers, such as the Yomut tribe, specifically designed to store spindles and spinning tools.

These bags are typically constructed using hand-spun wool for both the pile and backing, dyed using natural plant and mineral dyes to produce shades of madder red, indigo blue, and ivory.

Authentic nineteenth-century pieces exhibit hand-spun yarn variations, asymmetric knots, a plain-weave back panel, and strict geometric tribal motifs characteristic of specific nomadic clans.

Small tribal textiles can be custom-framed in a shadow box or mounted on a display board to serve as textural wall art in contemporary living spaces, hallways, or study rooms.

Keep wool textiles away from direct sunlight and damp conditions, clean gently with a soft brush or vacuum using low suction through a mesh screen, and consult a specialist rug restorer for deep cleaning.
