The handmade process includes cleaning, washing, and dyeing wool, and then weaving the rug with vegetable-dyed wool. Due to the handmade nature of the rugs, the size may vary up to 3-4 inches. The majority of the weavers are women who live in the villages of Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, and Iran. Each rug is crafted with artisan skill, creating variations in color, size, and design that make each piece unique. As our company grows, we are able to create more jobs for female weavers who otherwise might not have the opportunity to do so. Moreover, the community thrives from rug weaving as the local farmers benefit from wool sales and local artisans create natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use in their designs. Imported.
