This rug comes from a village near the Middle Atlas Mountains.

This piece is a living testament to the powerful history of this village. In Ait Yadine, the weaving tradition is nurtured by the women passing the skills down from generation to generation.

Woven with 100% sheep's wool, the colors are a combination of hand-dyed wool as well as pre-dyed wool bought from the local Souk.

This labyrinth-like weaving technique requires the highest level of skill and concentration. Each symbol that makes up the design is derived by an intricate system of counting. Listening to the loom and weft be woven together sounds quite similar to a plucking of a guitar.

In this textile, the geometric pattern mimics the architectural style you will find all over Morocco.
- Size: 155 cm x 250 cm

Zemmour Hanbel

Originating in the Middle Atlas Mountains, Zemmour Hanbel rugs are made with the thinnest of sheep's wool.

This labyrinth-like weaving technique requires acute focus and skill. Each symbol in the design is created with an intricate system of counting. You will always find something new to admire in these detailed pieces.

As the loom and weft (the wool base of the weave) rub together, this creates a rhythmic sound, like the plucking of a guitar.
