However, this Balouchi rug was made by weavers in Herat using wool from their own sheep and natural vegetable dyes. The majority of the weavers are women, and rug weaving provides job opportunities for them. Additionally, local farmers benefit from wool sales, and local artisans create natural dyes for the weavers to use in their designs. Regular vacuuming and annual professional cleaning will keep your rug looking new for years to come. Variations in color, size, and design add to the handcrafted touch of artisan skill. Imported.
