Azilal carpet 2.6*1.6 m

We discovered this carpet during a trip to the province of Azilal, more precisely in the Ait Bou Oulli Valley. The name of the valley means "herds of flocks" in the Amazigh language...

This absolutely unique carpet tells of the artistic talent of the artisans, who freely use colors and symbols typical of the region to express their creativity.

It is a true collective work of art: At Ait Bou Oulli the whole community contributes together to the creation of the carpets and does so with respect and pride: those who look after the flocks, those who spin and card the wool, those who knot the wool and who carefully washes the final carpet.

All our carpets have already been brushed and washed with the traditional method.

Amazigh carpets are durable and become more valuable as time passes. To maintain their resistance, it is essential to clean them: the dust that accumulates damages the wool in the long term.

Cleaning Amazigh carpets is simple and we believe that taking care of our home and the objects around us is an integral part of "self-care".

You can vacuum regularly on low to moderate power. It is recommended to carefully vacuum the fringes.
In the first few weeks, knotted carpets may lose the excess hair trapped in the wool: this is completely normal, because the wool is perfectly natural and the manufacturing process is perfectly artisanal.

If the carpet gets stained, just quickly pour in a little cold or lukewarm water, possibly with the addition of a natural soap (such as Marseille soap or a delicate detergent). Never use aggressive detergents. Then you can dab with a damp cloth and, if necessary, rub gently.

If you wish, you can also take them to laundries that offer professional carpet cleaning services: it may be useful to do this from time to time, after a few years.
