The rug's all-natural vegetable dye is made up of roots, flower petals and tree bark, creating an ecological alternative to chemical dyes. The chemical composition of the dye is hearty enough to withstand many years of use and washing. The handmade nature of these rugs means that 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, Iran, and India. By purchasing this handmade rug, you are helping to create more jobs for female weavers who otherwise would not have the opportunity to do so. The community benefits from rug weaving as the local farmers benefit from wool sales and local artisans create natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use in their designs.
