Features: One-of-a-kind handmade rug from Kashan, Iran 100-percent wool with a 0.25-inch pile height Knot count of 160 knots per square inch Vibrant color scheme featuring rust, navy, ivory, blue, green, pink, red, and salmon Supports female weavers in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, and India Story Behind the Art: Most of the older rugs that have been woven in Kashan by village weavers use imported wool from Manchester UK and New Zealand for the production of their rugs. This particular rug was made by village weavers in Kashan using vegetable-dyed wool that was cleaned, washed, and dyed by hand. Due to the handmade nature of our rugs, the size may vary up to 4 inches from the advertised size. Regular vacuuming and annual professional cleaning will keep your rug looking new for years to come. 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. Note: The handcrafted touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size and design. If buying two of the same item, slight differences should be expected. Color discrepancies may occur between this product and your computer screen. Imported from Iran.
