Features: Unique one-of-a-kind design inspired by Caucasian Kazaks patterns Made of 100% wool with a knot count of 160 and a pile height of 0.25 inches Warm shades of beige, red, blue, gold, purple, brown, and gray All-natural vegetable dye for ecological benefits Handmade by skilled Afghan weavers in refugee camps 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. The handcrafted touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size and design. 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, 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.
