This rug making process involves inserting yarn into the rug backing with a hand-held tufting gun to push and pull the threads through a pre-woven grid foundation. Women from villages in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India do most of the weaving. The majority of the weavers are women who would not have had the opportunity to work otherwise. Through rug weaving, the local farmers benefit from wool sales, and the local artisans create natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use in their designs. This rug is made using natural vegetable dyes for its rich colors. Expect slight variations in color, size, and design due to the handcrafted touch of artisan skill. Import this one-of-a-kind rug today to add a touch of world art to your home.
