Tree of Life Original Handwoven Turquoise Root Dye Wool Rug 180x253 cm (4.55 square meters) - 5x8 ft

1- RUG SPECIFICATIONS

The warp and weft of this rug are cotton, and its knots are made of wool yarn. The yarns are also produced entirely by hand using a kirman. The wool yarns used in the knots are dyed with natural dyes (root dyes). For example, to obtain the color red, 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 acquire a brighter appearance with use. Furthermore, this rug is a high-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 600,000 hand-tied knots were used in the weaving of this rug.

2-CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Carpet cleaning varies depending on the carpet's material and the type of stain. Since this rug is made of wool yarns dyed with natural dyes, carpet shampoos or detergents containing chemicals 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, the area should be wiped with a cloth, lathering a white bar soap. 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 will penetrate the warp and become much more difficult to remove. Finally, we recommend that you have this rug washed by a professional rug cleaner whom you trust and who specializes in hand-woven rugs.
