The weavers use the warp strands as the foundation and weft strands to create the patterns, passing them through the warp strands. Due to the handmade nature of these kilims, sizes may vary slightly from the advertised dimensions. Regular vacuuming and annual professional cleaning will keep your kilim looking new for years to come. Herat Oriental has been providing authentic, handmade rugs to Worldstock for over a decade, creating jobs for over 2,000 local village weavers, mostly women. As the demand for these kilims grow, more jobs are created for female weavers who wouldn't have the opportunity otherwise. The local farmers also benefit from wool sales and artisans create natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use in their designs.
