Creating Beauty - The Making of Your Moroccan Tribal Rug

Vintage berber rugs inspired by the beauty of the Atlas Mountains

Materials

The process of handcrafting Moroccan rugs begins with collecting the necessary material. A common material Moroccans use to handcraft rugs, carpets, or tapestry is wool.

Cleaning

After the wool has been acquired, it has to be cleaned. The Amazigh women will take the wool to a nearby river to wash it in the flowing water and beat it with rocks and sticks repetitively to clean it.
From there, the wool is placed on drying racks or on top of the roof of the house to sun dry.

Spinning

After drying, the Amazigh women use handmade combs to untangle and separate the wool. While the wool is being combed, the women use spokes made out of bicycle wheels to thread the material.

Dieing

The threads are then dyed. To get an orange color, the threads are boiled in hot water with iron metal pieces. The dye process creates unique shades of color that adds to the distinctiveness of each finished rug. At completion of the dyeing process, the rug is sun-dried. When the threads are dried, the threads can be used to make rugs.

Sewing

The rug making process is a collaborative effort by a team of Amazigh women working together to set the loom, weave, knot, or thread, and cheer each other on. It can be characterized as a spiritual moment as well; the room where the women make the rugs is filled with prayers, songs, and love.

Celebration

When the rug is finished, the Amazigh women celebrate in their hard work and accomplishments with food and festivities.
