The designs are created using natural and vegetable dyes derived from madder, walnut peel, pomegranate peel, and sparak. The majority of the weavers are women who reside in the villages of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. Through rug weaving, we are able to create more job opportunities for female weavers who otherwise would not have the chance to do so. The local farmers also benefit from wool sales, while the local artisans create natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use in their designs. Due to the handmade nature of this rug, its size may vary up to 3-4 inches.
