However, this rug was handmade by weavers in the villages of Herat using wool from their own sheep. The weavers wash and dye the wool with natural vegetable dyes in their villages, creating a thriving community for local farmers and artisans. With your purchase, you are supporting female weavers who otherwise would not have job opportunities. Regular vacuuming and professional cleaning will keep your rug looking new for years to come.
