Women make up the majority of the weavers, and rug weaving provides them with employment opportunities that they might not otherwise have. Local farmers benefit from wool sales, and the local artisans create natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use in their designs. Regular vacuuming and annual professional cleaning will keep your kilim looking new for years to come. Note: Due to the handmade nature of our kilims, the size may vary from as advertised by 3-4 inches. The handcrafted touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size and design. If buying two of the same item, slight differences should be expected. Color discrepancies may occur between this product and your computer screen. Imported.
