However, this handmade rug was made by the weavers in the villages of Herat using 100% wool from their own sheep. The washing and natural vegetable dying of the wool is also done in their villages. The majority of the weavers are women who live in the villages of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. Your purchase helps to create jobs for female weavers who otherwise would not have the opportunity to do so.
