Afghan Carpet Hamyap Original Hand Woven Root Dye Wool 0.98x152 1.49 Square Meters - 3x5 ft

1-CARPET FEATURES

The warp and weft of this carpet are cotton, and the knots are wool yarn. The yarns are entirely hand-produced using a spindle. The wool yarns used in the knots are dyed with natural root dyes. For example, to achieve the red color, wool yarns are boiled with rose petals, and the yarn takes on the color of the rose petal; yarns dyed in this way are called root-dyed yarns. Carpets made from root-dyed yarns become brighter with use. Furthermore, this carpet is a high-quality carpet in terms of weaving density and is woven with the Turkish knot, also known as the double knot technique; due to this feature, it is more durable and has a longer lifespan compared to Persian carpets. Finally, approximately 210,000 hand knots were tied in the weaving of this carpet.

2-CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Carpet cleaning varies depending on the carpet's material and the type of dirt. Since this carpet is made of root-dyed wool yarns, carpet shampoo or detergent containing chemicals should not be used. If any liquid spills on this carpet, first thoroughly dry the affected area with a paper towel; then, lather white bar soap and wipe the affected area with a cloth. It should also be noted that immediate intervention is crucial when something spills on the carpet. If the spilled liquid remains on the carpet for a long time without being wiped, the stain penetrates the warp and becomes much more difficult to remove. Finally, we recommend entrusting the washing of this carpet to a professional carpet cleaner you trust who specializes in hand-knotted carpets.
