The weavers use vegetable dyes such as madder, walnut peel, pomegranate peel and sparak to create rich colors such as red, dark brown, light brown and yellow. As a result of the handmade nature of these rugs, sizes may vary up to 3-4 inches. Regular vacuuming and annual professional cleaning will keep your rug looking new for years to come. These rugs are woven by women in villages across Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran and India, providing them with employment opportunities they otherwise may not have had. Moreover, local farmers benefit from wool sales while artisans create natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use in their designs. Imported
