THIS Boujad rug is a type of Moroccan rug, handwoven by the Berber tribes in and around the town of Boujad in the Haouz region of Morocco. These distinctive rugs are known for their bold colors—primarily hues of pinks, reds, oranges, and purples—as well as their unique abstract patterns. Unlike their more geometric cousins from the Atlas Mountains, Boujad rugs often feature less structured designs, incorporating a mix of tribal symbols and motifs that tell stories or represent the weaver's personal experiences and emotions
Made primarily from wool, these rugs are not only beautiful but also durable, capable of withstanding the test of time. Each piece is unique, reflecting the artisan's individual creativity and the traditional techniques passed down through generations. The Boujad rug is a vibrant testament to the rich culture and artistic heritage of the Moroccan Berber community, adding warmth, color, and story to any space it occupies.

THE PROCESS OF MAKING THE RUG
Selection of Wool
The process begins with the selection of high-quality wool, which is crucial for the durability and feel of the rug. Sheep wool is the most commonly used material, prized for its softness, strength, and flexibility.
Cleaning and Spinning
The wool is then cleaned to remove impurities and washed to ensure it is free from dust and grease. Once dried, it is carded and spun into yarn using a traditional spinning wheel or a drop spindle. This process can vary in length, depending on the amount of wool needed and the desired thickness of the yarn.
After spinning, the wool yarn is dyed using natural or chemical dyes, depending on the desired color palette. Natural dyes come from local plants, minerals, and sometimes insects, offering a range of earthy and vibrant colors. This step is crucial for achieving the rich, varied hues that Boujad rugs are known for.
