To bring this rug to life, the raw Ghazni wool is brought to the western side of Afghanistan, where it undergoes a meticulous process of being hand carted and hand spun into carpet yarn. The weaving takes place on traditional floor looms, often within the weavers' own homes, showcasing the close-knit cottage industry that forms the backbone of rug production in the region.

Notably, this rug features centuries-old all-natural dye stuffs, with the captivating red color obtained from natural madder root dyes. Cultivated for centuries, madder root dyes offer a wide range of warm and cool red, orange, pink, and brown shades, showcasing the rich history and heritage of this dyeing technique.
