Inconsistencies in the rug and its design are the nature of this textile. The majority of the weavers are women who live in the villages of Afghanistan, Pakistan, 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. Dimensions: Measures 8 feet 8 inches x 11 feet 9 inches Size may vary by up to 3-4 inches due to handmade nature Care Instructions: Regular vacuuming and annual professional cleaning will keep your rug looking new for years to come.
