The weavers use warp strands as the foundation and weft strands to create the patterns by simply passing them through the warp strands. Due to the handmade nature of the kilims, sizes may vary by up to 3-4 inches. Regular vacuuming and annual professional cleaning will keep your kilim looking new for years to come. Herat Oriental has been providing beautiful, authentic, handmade rugs to Worldstock for over 10 years. Worldstock has given us the opportunity to create jobs for over 2,000 local village weavers, mostly women who live in the villages of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. With every purchase, you are supporting these artisans and their families. The community also thrives from rug weaving as local farmers benefit from wool sales and local artisans create natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use in their designs. Note: 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.
