During my visit to Telouet and Ait Ben Haddou, I purchased two colorful handmade runners from the local women who wove them. I visited their home next to an ancient Kasbah and they showed me how the wool was treated and dyed and how their runners and rugs were woven. Each is a ??????one of a kind', made with thick wool, durable and washable with water and soap. They can be used on their reverse side for a softer effect. They are new and were never used. I am moving abroad and must sell.
Description:
Geometric and expressive patterns with warm and vibrant yet soothing colors.
100% natural material and dyes. Wool from sheep raised locally.
All colors found in these rugs are all-natural dyes. The yellow is from the natural saffron, the red from henna, the blue from indigo, green from the wild mint, burgundy from pomegranate, and the white is made of wool from sheep that live in the Atlas mountains at altitudes as high as 10,000 feet. All other colors are created from a mix of more than one of the natural dyes.
