This particular rug was made using a very primitive way on flat wooden looms that lay on the ground with wool from the weavers' own sheep. The washing and natural vegetable dying of the wool is also done in their villages. Due to its handmade nature, the rug's size may vary from as advertised by 3-4 inches. Regular vacuuming and annual professional cleaning will keep it looking new for years to come.
