Features: Unique one-of-a-kind design Handmade by skilled weavers in Afghanistan Geometric patterns with lively colors of blues, reds, and browns 190 knot count per square inch 0.25 inches pile height Made of 100-percent wool Colors include red, navy, and ivory Story Behind the Art: This rug was made using primitive methods on flat wooden looms that lay on the ground - a tradition still carried out by villagers in Herat. The wool comes from their own sheep and is dyed using natural vegetable dyes. Due to its handmade nature, the size may vary by up to 3-4 inches. Regular vacuuming and annual professional cleaning will keep the rug looking new for years to come. The majority of the weavers are women who live in the villages of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. Buying this rug creates jobs for female weavers who otherwise wouldn't have the opportunity to do so. The community also benefits from rug weaving as local farmers raise sheep for wool and artisans create natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use in their designs.
