However, this rug was made by skilled weavers in Herat, using traditional methods on flat wooden looms on the ground. The washing and natural vegetable dying of the wool is done in their villages. The handmade nature of each rug means that sizes may vary up to 3-4 inches. Herat Oriental has been providing quality handmade rugs for over 10 years, creating jobs for local village weavers and supporting their families. Local farmers benefit from wool sales, while artisans create natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use in their designs. Imported.
