However, this rug was made by weavers in the villages of Herat using a primitive method on flat wooden looms that lay on the ground with wool from their own sheep. All washing and natural vegetable dying of the wool is done in their villages. Due to the handmade nature of our rugs, the size may vary from as advertised by 3-4 inches. Regular vacuuming and annual professional cleaning will keep your rug looking new for years to come. The majority of the weavers are women who live in the villages of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. Purchasing this rug helps create jobs for female weavers who would not have the opportunity to do so otherwise. The local farmers benefit from wool sales, and the local artisans create natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use in their designs. Imported.
