Features: Handmade by skilled weavers in Afghanistan Geometric pattern in shades of beige, navy, green, black, gold, pink, burgundy, and brown 100% wool from the weavers' own sheep Knot count of 190 per square inch and pile height of 0.25 inches One-of-a-kind piece with variations in color and design Story Behind the Art: As a result of the past 30 years of war and foreign invasion of Afghanistan, most weavers in the villages have moved to the cities and are no longer weaving rugs. Therefore, newly woven Balouchi rugs are rare in the market. This particular rug was made by weavers in the villages of Herat using flat wooden looms that lay on the ground. All washing and natural vegetable dying of wool is done in their villages. Women make up the majority of the weavers living in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. Purchasing these rugs creates jobs for female weavers and benefits local farmers who raise sheep for wool. The community thrives from rug weaving as local artisans create natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use in their designs. Imported.
