The vibrant colors of this rug are achieved through centuries-old natural dye stuffs. For example, the captivating blue hue is achieved using natural indigo dye, sourced from the leaves of the indigo plant. This age-old dyeing technique imparts a deep and rich blue color that has been cherished by cultures worldwide for thousands of years.
