Our rug is woven by skilled artisans using traditional floor looms in their own homes, contributing to the cottage industry production prevalent in this region. The Ghazni Province of South East Afghanistan provides the raw wool, known for its longer staple length and high-quality properties. After being hand carted and spun into carpet yarn around Herat, the weaving process begins.

The use of centuries-old, all-natural dye stuffs further adds to the authenticity and unique charm of this rug. The mesmerizing blue color is derived from natural indigo dye, sourced from the leaves of the indigo plant. Similarly, the red tones are obtained from madder root dyes, historically cultivated for centuries and known for producing a wide range of warm and cool shades.
