Chobi rugs are traditionally produced in many regions of Pakistan. The word "chobi" is from the Farsi word "chob" which means wood, referring to the source of its natural dyes. Bunyaad Chobis tend to have large geometric floral patterns. They are all hand-knotted with hand-spun wool spun primarily by a drop spindle. Their natural dyes are made entirely from hand-gathered fruits, vegetables, roots, tree barks and dried shells, making Chobis the most labour-intensive of all of our tribal carpets.

Natural Dye Chobis are renowned for their lanolin-rich luster and stunning natural colouring. Their colours range from soft muted tans and browns to rich coppers, deep maroons, and sage greens. Bunyaad's natural dyeing techniques have been refined over the years to ensure a natural dye that is steadfast, fade-proof and long-lasting.
