How Moroccan Rugs Are Made

How Our Rugs Are Made

• Gathering Materials

  • Skilled artisans select natural wool from local sheep.
  • The wool is carefully washed to prepare it for the next steps.

• Cleaning the Wool

  • The wool is thoroughly cleaned to remove any impurities or dirt.
  • This ensures the wool is in its best condition before dyeing and spinning.

• Spinning the Wool

  • The cleaned wool is spun into yarn by hand using traditional methods.
  • This process ensures that the wool is the right thickness and texture for weaving.

• Dyeing the Wool

  • The wool is dyed using natural, eco-friendly methods, often with plant-based dyes, such as pomegranate, indigo, and madder root.
  • These dyes are carefully chosen for their rich, vibrant colors and their ability to hold up over time.

• Stretching the Wool

  • After dyeing, the wool is carefully stretched for uniformity and smoothness.
  • This process ensures the wool maintains its shape and texture before weaving.

• Preparing the Loom

  • The loom is set up by hand to create the perfect foundation for weaving.
  • Craftsmen make sure the threads are tightly spaced and secure for durability.

• Weaving the Design

  • Each rug is meticulously woven by hand, making it a piece of luxury handmade art.
  • It can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months to complete, with more intricate designs potentially taking up to 6 months or more. Every rug is unique, with patterns passed down through generations, reflecting the artisan's life, culture, and experiences.

• Detailing and Finishing

  • Once woven, the rug is washed again to set the colors and soften the texture.
  • The edges are carefully trimmed, and any imperfections are corrected.

• Quality Control

  • The finished rug undergoes a thorough inspection to ensure there are no flaws.
  • Only the highest quality rugs are selected to be sold.

• For You

  • Every rug is a luxury handcrafted, special piece of art, created uniquely for you.
  • It embodies the quality of royalty, reflecting timeless craftsmanship and design.
