All washing and natural vegetable dyeing are also done in their villages. As a result of the foreign invasion in Afghanistan, most weavers have moved to cities and no longer weave rugs, so newly woven Balouchi rugs are a rare find. This rug not only preserves an ancient tradition but also provides jobs for female weavers who otherwise would not have the opportunity to do so. As each rug is handmade, there may be slight variations in color, size, and design.
