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 Beni M’rirt, in the Middle Atlas Mountains. Founded in the early 2000s, the collective makes medium to high hand-knot rugs, as well as M’rirt Zanafi rugs, a style named after the region. Traditional rugs from this region use a thick knotting technique, which makes the rugs feel extra plush.
Made up of 100% wool and natural spice dyes, the variations of green are derived from various combinations of pomegranate skin and indigo stone.
