Rug Style: Hand-Knot
Pile: Medium
Materials: 100% live sheep’s wool, natural spice, herb and plant dyes
Time to Make: Current weave time averages around 8-10 weeks. Rugs larger than 9' x 12' may take an additional 2 weeks. We do our best to visit the artisans every 2 to 3 weeks to capture the progression of the weave.
The Story Behind the Weave:
This rug was woven by a group of artisans who reside in a village just outside of Beni M'rirt which is located within the Middle Atlas Mountains.
Pictured is Soukina, one of the members of the association.
Made up of 100% wool, the varying caramel colors were dyed using a mix of local plants. The traditional Beni M’rirt rug contains a thick knot which allows for their rugs to feel extra plush.
Each rug is made entirely by hand so there will always be small variations in pattern, color and exact size (up to 10 cm variation) due to the organic nature of the materials but we strive to accurately capture the detail and color so you know what you’re getting.
