Hand knotted wool rugs made in Morocco
Our soft natural wool rugs, with long or short pile, are hand-knotted using traditional techniques. Shaggy or flat-weave, plain or coloured, they are all handmade from pure sheep's wool, an exceptional material.
Unique pieces of rare beauty, these extraordinary modern wool rugs are the result of the creativity of each individual artisan. To understand the inestimable value of these artefacts, one must consider the craftsmanship that requires skills handed down through generations. Knowing natural sheep's wool, knowing how to card it, applying extremely complex finishing and washing processes: these are just some of the skills that are part of an intangible cultural heritage that must be preserved.
Naturally antibacterial and hypoallergenic, natural wool is an excellent insulator against the cold. In fact, these rugs were also used as blankets and mattresses, valuable allies in the mountainous regions where they are created. The weight varies depending on the density of the knots and the material of the warp: traditionally it is wool, but sometimes it can be cotton for a lighter rug. The pile can be more or less shaved or long, depending on the origin and preferences of the craftswoman. In all cases, these knotted rugs are surprisingly soft to the touch.
The carefully curated selection is constantly evolving. You may find woven wool rugs made from Siroua wool, a sheep that lives only in the Atlas Mountains in the Taznakht area. Lovers of rustic-chic style will fall in love with Boujaad rugs, thick wool rugs with a natural look and long or short pile. Those looking for a multicoloured wool rug with a super creative design will love the colourful patterns of Azilal rugs. Minimalists and fans of the Nordic trend will find the perfect accessory in Beni Ourain rugs in white wool with iconic black diamonds. Connoisseurs of this versatile material will immediately recognise the soft, luxurious wool of Beni Mrirt rugs, which undergo secret washing procedures to make them soft and shiny.
Who do we recommend them for? For those who love a cosy home and dream of a large wool rug for a comfy living room with an hygge touch that is reminiscent of a mountain chalet. In the bedroom as a bedside rug, to immerse yourself in the comfortable embrace of a soft, long-pile rug when you wake up barefoot. For little ones to crawl around in the warmth and play comfortably in their bedroom or living room.
