Similar to the Beni Ourain weave, Azilal rugs tend to have undyed sheep’s wool for its base and vibrant colors used for the design elements. While the weave is less dense than the Beni Ourain it’s still as plush as it looks.

The Hanbel border coupled with the hand-knot design elements gives this Azilal rug dimensional beauty.

Soukina leads a group of 35 artisans from a village just outside Beni M’rirt in the Middle Atlas Mountains. Founded in the early 2000s by Soukina’s late mother, Ketlouma, the collective specializes in medium to high hand-knot rugs—a style named after the region—as well as M’rirt Zanafi rugs, their unique interpretation of the Zanafi style from the southeast. Traditional rugs from this area are crafted using a thick knotting technique, resulting in an extra-plush texture.
