These beautiful designs are achieved by interweaving the various colors of the vertical and horizontal strands of the kilim. The majority of the weavers are women who live in the villages of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. Your purchase helps create jobs for female weavers who otherwise would not have the opportunity to do so. The community also benefits from rug weaving as local farmers benefit from wool sales and local artisans create natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use in their designs.
