The majority of the weavers are women who live in villages in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. The rug weaving industry provides jobs for female weavers who may not otherwise have employment opportunities. The local farmers also benefit from wool sales, and artisans create natural and vegetable dyes for use in the designs. Due to the handmade nature, 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: As each piece is handmade, slight variations in color, size, and design should be expected. Color discrepancies may occur between this product and your computer screen.
