It takes a village woman up to a year to make one rug.
Today I went out with a few girls to the old souk. We visited with a man from Iran that has a rug shop. We spent hours learning about how and where they are made. He is especially good at teaching about rugs. We saw rugs from hundreds of dollars to thousands of dollars and learned what the difference in quality is for the price. It was very interesting. I wish I had the budget for a rug. I did pick up a hand painted table cloth (smaller than the one above) for cheap though.
