Features: One-of-a-kind design inspired by Caucasian Kazaks patterns Handmade by Afghan weavers using traditional techniques 100% wool construction with a knot count of 160 for durability and softness Pile height of 0.25 inches for a comfortable feel underfoot Vibrant colors including ivory, blue, gold, purple, red, green, and teal Story Behind the Art: The Kargahi rugs originated in refugee camps in Peshawar, Pakistan, where Afghan weavers created them. Using all-natural vegetable dye made from roots, flower petals, and tree bark, the weavers produced colors that reflect the natural surroundings of the region. The dye is hearty enough to withstand many years of use and washing, making it an ecological alternative to chemical dyes. 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 local farmers benefit from wool sales, and local artisans create natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use in their designs. Due to the handmade nature of the 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. Color discrepancies may occur between the product and your computer screen. Imported.
