This rug was woven by the weavers in the villages of Herat on flat wooden looms using 100-percent wool from their own sheep. The washing and natural vegetable dyeing of the wool are done in their villages. Due to its handmade nature, the size may vary from the advertised size by 3-4 inches. Regular vacuuming and professional cleaning will keep it looking new for years. With your purchase, you empower female weavers who otherwise would not have the opportunity to do so while supporting local farmers and artisans.
