What the Azilal rugs are known for?
Azilal rugs are mader from raw sheep's wool mixed with cotton or created mainly from cotton. most of them share the abstract design and colorful bright pattern. The pile of these rugs are relatively medium to short because they are made from a sharper wool that makes this carpet less dense than the Beni Ourain rug, but no less soft or comfy. The bottom of a rug is often white or cream in reference to the natural color of the wool. As the name suggest, they all were made in Azilal 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.
