Due to the handmade nature of our rugs, the size may vary from as advertised by 3-4 inches. 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. As we grow, we are able to create more jobs for female weavers who otherwise would not have the opportunity to do so. 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.
