The process of rug making involves cleaning, washing and dyeing the wool before weaving it with vegetable-dyed wool. Due to the handmade nature of our rugs, sizes may vary up to 3-4 inches. Regular maintenance including vacuuming and professional cleaning will ensure that your rug looks new for years to come. The majority of weavers are women who live in the villages of Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and Iran. Our growing business provides opportunities for female weavers to create more jobs while contributing to the thriving community. The wool sales benefit local farmers while local artisans create natural and vegetable dyes for weavers to use in their designs.
