This rug was handwoven by Keltouma and the artisans of the M'rirt association. Keltouma and her daughter Soukina lead this group of 25 artisans from a village just outside of Beni M’rirt, located in the Middle Atlas Mountains. Founded in the early 2000’s, the collective makes medium to high hand-knot rugs.

Traditional rugs from this region use a thick knotting technique, making the rugs feel extra plush and cozy under your feet.

Made up of 100% wool, the women dye this wool by hand in bunches. The wool used here was dyed with a natural black, then washing it a number of times afterwards to reduce the black into a variety of brownish-purple hues.
