This one-of-a-kind rug was handwoven by Malika, Nadia, Hanan, and Zahra in Ait Yadine, a village near the foothills of the Middle Atlas Mountains.

Malika, Nadia, Hanan, and Zahra spent 4 weeks on this Beni Ourain weave. Made from 100% live wool - the 4 women brushed, carded, and spun the wool themselves.

This traditional Beni Ourain style has been modernized by incorporating abstract dots throughout the weave instead of the tradition diamonds.

It feels just as cozy, plush and soft as it looks.
- Size: 165 cm x 245 cm
- Rug Technique: Medium to High Hand-Knot
- Pile: Low to Medium
- Materials: 100% live sheep’s wool. Organic local plants and spices for dyes.

Rug Style

Medium to High Hand-Knot

There are many varieties of a rug that contain a Medium to High Hand-Knot—Boujad, Azilal, Beni Ourain, Beni M'Rirt, and Marmoucha, to name a few. While they may have similarities, the knot technique varies depending on the region or tribe the rug comes from.

The majority of these rugs come from the Middle Atlas and High Atlas Mountains. The local sheep in these colder climates have a thicker coat to sustain them during the winter months, which impacts the thickness of the wool, and in turn, contributes to the height of the pile.
