Features: Handmade by skilled Afghan weavers Inspired by the patterns of Caucasian Kazaks Made of 100% wool Features a knot count of 160 Plush pile height of 0.25 inches Colored in a beautiful combination of red, ivory, gold, blue, teal, brown and aqua Story Behind the Art: The Kargahi rugs originated in the refugee camps in Peshawar, Pakistan by Afghan weavers. The chemical composition of the dye is hearty enough to withstand many years of use and washing. All-natural vegetable dye is an ecological alternative to chemical dyes because it is made up of roots, flower petals and tree bark. Due to the handmade nature of our rugs, the size may vary by up to 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. As we grow, we are able to create 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.
