Afghan Carpet Hamyap Original Hand Woven Vegetable Dyed Wool 169x240 4.06 Square Meters - 5x7 ft

1-CARPET FEATURES

The warp and weft of this carpet are cotton, and the knots are wool yarn. The yarns are also completely produced by hand using a drop spindle. The wool yarns used in the knots are root-dyed, meaning they are colored using natural materials. For example, to obtain the color red, 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 gain a brighter appearance with use. Furthermore, this carpet is a top-quality carpet in terms of weaving density and is woven using the Turkish knot, or double knot, technique; thanks to this feature, it is more durable and has a longer lifespan compared to Persian carpets. Finally, approximately 850,000 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 from root-dyed wool yarns, carpet shampoo or detergent containing chemical substances should not be used. If any liquid is spilled on this carpet, the affected area should first be thoroughly blotted with a paper towel; then, the area should be wiped with a cloth using lathered white bar soap. It should also be noted that immediate intervention is crucial when something is spilled on the carpet. If the spilled liquid remains on the carpet without being wiped for a long time, the stain will penetrate the warp and become much more difficult to remove. Finally, we recommend having this carpet washed by a professional carpet cleaner whom you trust and who specializes in hand-woven carpets.
