The weavers of this rug hail from the Esari Subtribe of ethnic Turkmen weavers. They source the wool for this rug from the Ghazni Province of Southeast Afghanistan, renowned for its mountainous terrain that yields high-quality wool. The wool is then hand-carded and hand-spun into carpet yarn in the western side of Afghanistan, around Herat.

Using traditional floor looms in their own homes, these skilled weavers produce this rug using an asymmetrical "Persian" knot type. The warp and weft of this rug are made of cotton, while the pile is made entirely of wool. The double wefted heavily packed depressed warp weaving technique ensures the utmost durability, making this rug a lasting investment.

As for the coloring, the vibrant blue hues in this rug are achieved using natural indigo dyes derived from the leaves of the indigo plant. With a history dating back thousands of years, indigo has been widely used in various cultures to create rich blue tones.

The red shades in this rug are derived from natural madder root dyes. Madder dyes have been cultivated for centuries and can produce warm and cool red, orange, pink, and brown hues. This natural dye has a long history of use in dyeing and is cherished by various cultures worldwide.
