DETAILS
- Hand-woven by artisans in Kenya
- Approximately: 2' x 3'
- Care Instructions: Vacuum rug regularly without the beater bar. Rug pads are recommended for rug longevity, safety, and to avoid scratches. The occasional gentle shake will keep these textiles looking their best. As woven textiles settle, a stray piece of yarn may pop up. This is perfectly normal. Do not cut the yarn; simply tuck and pull it back through the underside of the throw.
