This particular rug was made by women weavers using wool from their own sheep and woven in a primitive way on flat wooden looms that lie on the ground. All washing and natural vegetable dying of the wool is done in their villages. The majority of the weavers are women who live in the villages of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. Through the purchase of this rug, you are supporting female weavers and local farmers who benefit from wool sales. By growing the market for handmade rugs, we can help create more jobs for female weavers who otherwise would not have the opportunity to do so. Regular vacuuming and annual professional cleaning will keep your rug looking new for years to come. Imported
