Kashmiri Namdah, also known as Namda, is a unique and age-old craft of creating colorful, hand-felted woolen rugs or carpets. These rugs are renowned for their intricate designs and exceptional craftsmanship. The name “Namdah” is derived from the Persian word “Namad,” which means ‘felt.’ The craft involves using raw sheep’s wool, which is cleaned, dyed, and then compressed into felted sheets.
