Afghan Rug Hand-Knotted Original Handwoven Vegetable Dyed Wool 198x305 6.04 Square Meters - 7x10 ft

1- RUG SPECIFICATIONS

The warp and weft of this rug are cotton, and the knots are made of wool yarn. The yarns are entirely produced by hand using a drop spindle. The wool yarns used for the knots are dyed with natural root dyes. For example, to achieve the color red, the wool yarns are boiled with rose petals, and the yarn takes on the color of the rose petals; yarns dyed in this manner are called root-dyed yarns. Rugs made from root-dyed yarns gain a brighter appearance with use. Furthermore, this rug is a top-quality rug in terms of weaving density and is woven using the Turkish knot, also known as the double knot technique; thanks to this feature, it is more durable and has a longer lifespan compared to Persian rugs. Finally, approximately 850,000 hand knots were made in the weaving of this rug.

2-CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Rug cleaning varies according to the rug's material and the type of dirt. Since this rug is made of wool yarns dyed with natural root dyes, rug shampoos or detergents containing chemical substances should not be used. If any liquid is spilled on this rug, the affected area should first be thoroughly blotted with a paper towel; then, white bar soap should be lathered and wiped with a cloth over the affected area. It should also be noted that immediate intervention is very important when something is spilled on the rug. If the spilled liquid remains on the rug for a long time without being wiped, the stain penetrates the warp and becomes much harder to remove. Finally, we recommend entrusting the cleaning of this rug to a professional rug cleaner whom you trust and who specializes in hand-knotted rugs.
