This ecological alternative to chemical dyes is hearty enough to withstand many years of use and washing. The majority of the weavers are women who live in villages across the region. Purchasing one of these rugs creates job opportunities for female weavers who would otherwise not have this opportunity. The community also thrives from rug weaving as local farmers benefit from wool sales and local artisans create natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use in their designs. Note: Due to the handcrafted nature of these rugs, variations in color, size, and design should be expected. Color discrepancies may occur between this product and your computer screen. Imported.
