The majority of the weavers are women who live in the villages of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. The community 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. As we grow, we are able to create more jobs for female weavers who otherwise would not have the opportunity to do so. Imported.
