Soukina and the Artisans of M’rirt

Soukina leads a group of 40 artisans from a village just outside Beni M’rirt in the Middle Atlas Mountains. Founded in the early 2000s by Soukina’s late mother, Keltouma, the collective specializes in medium to high hand-knot rugs, a style named after the region, as well as M’rirt Zanafi rugs, their own interpretation of the Zanafi style from the southeast. Traditional rugs from this area use a thick knotting technique that gives them an extra-plush texture.

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.
