They provide income to Afghan women by sourcing and selling the rugs they weave. Each Arzu Rug is one-of-a-kind, made from handspun wool that’s gathered from locally bred sheep and dyed using all-natural materials. Notable for their tight weave and dense pile, the rugs are woven by hand on looms in the homes of the artisans – enabling women to continue caring for children while generating income for their family. * Featuring organic and graphic shapes inspired by the natural world, Winter was designed by Thomas Schoos. * Shows off the mastery of the artisan weavers, who recreate Schoos’ pattern from a graph. * Uses environmentally sustainable vegetable dyes, which are derived from natural sources, including walnut husks for brown and pomegranate for yellow. * Each rug has an “h,” for “hope,” woven in the corner to signify its authenticity.See less »
