What the Beni Ourain rugs are known for?
Beni Ourain rugs are very soft with high thick pile. They are usually withe with bold black geometric pattern. The black and white colors made them very popular for large bright, minimalist interior. They are made from 100% sheep wool and are 100% undyed and natural. As the name suggest, they all were made in Beni Ourain tribes’ region in Morocco.
How our rugs are being made?
We started the production process by sourcing and gathering most of the raw material such as live sheep wool that we get from a special local market. After this, we wash the purchased wool, clean it, brush it and span it into yarn by hand. Yarn is a long continuous length of interlocked fibers, suitable for use in the production of textiles, knitting and weaving. Later, we dye the wool using various spices blends so we can add special colors to it. We then move to the next step of weaving process. This process takes great time and care and human hands instead of modern machinery. We use loom to weave our products. A loom is a device a person uses to weave a carpet. Two to three people can seat next to each other and work simultaneously on the rug. We work together line by line until we finished it, meaning we finish the first row of the knitted wool and then we move to the next until we complete the weaving process.
We believe weaving is an art. We do not mass produce rugs. Our production is limited to few rugs a year. The weaving technic used have been practiced centuries-old and handed down through generation.
⚠️ Note:
📌 All of our rugs are professionally inspected and cleaned before we ship them out, so you can receive them in best and perfect condition.
