Due to the past 30 years of war and foreign invasion of Afghanistan, most weavers have moved to the cities and are no longer weaving rugs. However, these weavers still use primitive weaving techniques on flat wooden looms and natural vegetable dyes to create these exquisite rugs. The majority of the weavers are women, who live in the villages of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. By purchasing this rug, you are creating more jobs for female weavers who otherwise would not have the opportunity to do so. The community also thrives from rug weaving as the local farmers benefit from wool sales, and the local artisans create natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use in their designs. Care instructions: Regular vacuuming and annual professional cleaning will keep your rug looking new for years to come. Please note that due to the handmade nature of this rug, the size may vary from as advertised by 3-4 inches. Additionally, the handcrafted touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size, and design. If buying two of the same item, slight differences should be expected. Finally, note that color discrepancies may occur between this product and your computer screen. Imported.
