The weavers go through a detailed process of cleaning, washing, and dyeing the wool before weaving it into a rug. The majority of the weavers are women who live in villages across Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, and India. By creating more jobs for female weavers, the community benefits from rug weaving as local farmers can raise sheep for wool, and local artisans can create natural dyes for the weavers to use in their designs. Due to the handmade nature of these rugs, sizes may vary by 3-4 inches. Regular vacuuming and professional cleaning will keep this rug looking new for years to come.
