This rug will be woven by a group of artisans who reside in a village just outside of Beni M'rirt which is located within the Middle Atlas Mountains. Keltouma and her daughter Soukina lead this group of 25 artisans from a Village just outside Beni M’rirt, in the Middle Atlas Mountains. Founded in the early 2000s, the collective makes medium to high hand-knot rugs, a style named after the region. Traditional rugs from this region use a thick knotting technique, which makes the rugs feel extra plush.

This rug is made up of 100% undyed sheep's wool. It feels just as cozy, plush and soft as it looks.--technical details
