The majority of weavers are women who reside in the villages of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. Rug weaving is an important source of income for the local farmers who benefit from wool sales and local artisans who make natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use in their designs. As a result, these rugs not only help support families but also entire communities. Due to the handmade nature of these kilims, the size may vary from as advertised by 3-4 inches. Regular vacuuming and annual professional cleaning will keep your kilim looking new for years to come. Imported. Note: Color discrepancies may occur between this product and your computer screen.
