Moulouda's Mottled Blue Hand-Knot

$1,250.00

This rug was woven by Moulouda a little over ten years ago.

Moulouda belonged to the Ouaouzguiti Association. While Moulouda passed away five years ago, Fatima, one of the senior members of the association, told us about her life.

Moulouda and Fatima are both from the Tiouine village, this group of women have joined forces with nine other villages in the surrounding area to make up an association of weavers that has been around for eight decades.

Made of 100% wool from the local sheep of the village, Moulouda carded, brushed and spun the wool by hand. She then used local indigo stone to create the mottled blue hues.

This simplistic design, brought to life by a craft that's been around for centuries, will add timeless beauty to your home.

Rug Style

Low Hand-Knot

The Low Hand-Knot style of rug most often comes from the southeastern Tribes in and around the Siroua region. The pile of these rugs is much shorter than the Hand-Knot rugs from the north. Despite the shorter pile, these pieces are still quite plush and cozy.

One significant difference in technique with this rug is the artisans usually pre-cut the wool prior to weaving on the loom, while the women in the north cut the wool after looping it around the loom.
