Afghan Rug Green Hamyap Original Hand-woven Root Dyed Wool 177x238 4.21 Square Meters - 5x7 ft

1-RUG SPECIFICATIONS

The warp and weft of this rug are cotton, and the knots are made of wool yarn. The yarns are also produced entirely by hand using a kirman (spindle). The wool yarns used in the knots are dyed with root dyes, i.e., natural materials. For example, to obtain 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 way are called root-dyed yarns. Rugs made from root-dyed yarns become brighter with use. On the other hand, this rug is a top-quality rug in terms of weaving density and is woven with 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 560,000 hand knots were tied in the weaving of this rug.

2-CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Rug cleaning varies depending on the rug's material and the type of dirt. Since this rug is made of wool yarns dyed with root dyes, chemical-containing carpet shampoo or detergent 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, a cloth should be used to wipe the area with lathered white bar soap. It should also be noted that immediate action 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 will penetrate the warp and become much more difficult to remove. Finally, we recommend having this rug cleaned by a professional carpet cleaner whom you trust and who specializes in hand-knotted rugs. If you reside in Istanbul, you can contact us for carpet cleaning.
