Magic Carpets


India is known for its great carpets.  They come in three materials:  Camel Wool, Sheep Wool, and Silk.  All are made with natural colors, so they never fade (ex red color=chili powder, blue=indigo flower, yellow=turmeric) and all are hand woven taking over 600hr to make. All three are very soft and durable.  My family bought these on a previous trip to India over 15 years ago and they still look spectacular.
Description:  Carpets come in all sizes (runners, 4x6, 5x7, 6x9, circular)


Below are  pictures I took today of the 3 qualities and the corresponding prices (Includes 2 week shipping to your door!).  Colors are way better in real life.  Apologies for crappy photography but wanted to give you an idea of what you're getting.  The colors actually change from light to dark depending on the angle you are standing....super cool.
