The vegetable dyes used, such as madder for red or walnut peel for dark brown, are locally sourced. Women from the villages of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India do most of the weaving, providing them with a source of income. Rug weaving also benefits local farmers who sell wool to artisans who create natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use. Due to the handmade nature of this rug, slight variations in size, color, and design should be expected. Regular vacuuming and annual professional cleaning will keep it looking new for years to come.
