The  hand-made carpets are becoming very well regarded. This market has been growing quite fast in recent years, with greater emphasis placed on higher-quality knotting and the influence of Pakistan in many of the finishing processes. Such as initial tensioning to correct alignment issues where the weaver has drifted the wefts, causing the pattern to run out. Adjustments are undertaken before , , and . This combination of Afghan weaving and finishing in Pakistan has been a great success. These carpets are tightly knotted and usually finished with an unusually bound multicoloured fringe.

The carpets are still hand-knotted, and the wool is coloured with vegetable dye. The Loribaft rug designs can be reminiscent of  designs, although the Loribaft pieces are finer and more tightly knotted. The colours of the Loribaft rugs and carpets are similar in many ways to those used in our Samarkand collections, and they are possibly more vibrant. The main distinction is that the patterns are playful, with a vibrant colour palette and simple design, with stylised animals, plants, trees or characters with block colour often mimicking an ombre effect. Some of the Loribaft pieces do not have fringes, so they are finished with a plain kilim end or binding, which is secured to prevent fraying. Other rugs are produced, like the Samarkand carpets, with an unusual bobbin wind on the warps.
