How our rugs are made
Knotted by hand in the Atlas Mountains.
1. The wool
Our rugs start with sheep's wool from the Atlas Mountains, sheared once a year.
2. Washing and spinning
The wool is washed, dried in the sun and spun into yarn by hand.
3. Color
The yarn is either left in its natural cream, brown and black tones or dyed.
4. Weaving
A weaver sets up the loom and knots the rug by hand, row after row, from start to finish. A single rug can take several weeks.
5. Finishing
The finished rug is washed, dried and checked before it ships to you.
Because every rug is made by hand, no two are exactly alike. Final sizes can vary by 1 to 4 inches, and small irregularities in the pattern are part of what makes the rug yours.
