Moroccan Luxury Shag Wool Rug – Soft Texture, Timeless Mrirt Craft

Elevate your space with our high-quality Plush Moroccan wool rug, a stunning handknotted piece made in the Mrirt region. Known for its plush pile, soft texture, and earthy tones, this Plush Moroccan wool rug brings timeless Berber elegance into smaller spaces. Whether placed beside the bed or under a reading chair, its natural tones and artisan craftsmanship enhance any room with understated luxury.

Crafted by Hand in Mrirt, Morocco

This shag rug is handknotted by skilled artisans in Mrirt, a village in Morocco’s Middle Atlas Mountains famous for high-density wool rugs. The process involves hand-spinning local sheep wool, knotting each strand on traditional vertical looms, and finishing with precise trimming for an even, velvety pile.

Every rug from Mrirt reflects generational expertise, blending ancient techniques with modern color palettes. To explore how Moroccan rug-making traditions evolved through history, visit Architectural Digest’s spotlight on Moroccan interiors.

Perfect Size for Modern Living

Measuring 5 x 3.6 ft (151 x 110 cm), this Plush Moroccan wool rug is the ideal compact accent for small rooms. Place it in:

  • Bedrooms: Soft beside your bed for a plush wake-up

  • Home offices: Under a chair for quiet comfort

  • Living rooms: In reading corners or as layered texture

  • Entrances: Add softness and welcome beneath a console table

It fits where larger rugs overwhelm—and still delivers bold texture and artisan presence.

Plush Wool Pile for Everyday Comfort

What sets this rug apart is its luxuriously deep shag pile. Made from 100% natural Moroccan sheep wool, it offers:

  • Soft, warm texture underfoot

  • Excellent thermal insulation in all seasons

The pile height is dense but not overly bulky—designed to retain softness without compromising structure.

Subtle Taupe Color for Calm Interiors

The rug’s taupe tone—a blend of gray and beige—brings warmth without dominating the room. It complements both:

  • Neutral and minimal interiors (Scandi, Japandi, boho)

  • Earth-toned palettes with terracotta, linen, or cream

  • Natural materials like wood, jute, and leather

Its understated elegance makes it ideal for layering with bolder pieces or standing alone as a quiet centerpiece.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I clean my Moroccan rug?

Caring for your Moroccan rug is simple! For regular maintenance, we recommend gently vacuuming it 1-2 times a week (use a suction-only attachment, without a beater bar) and air it outside every few months. For minor spills, act quickly by blotting the area with a clean, dry cloth. If needed, use a small amount of water and a gentle soap. For deep cleaning, we strongly recommend seeking a professional rug cleaner who specializes in wool carpets to preserve the rug's natural fibers and vibrant colors for years to come.

Vacuum Regularly → Use a low setting without a beater bar to protect the fibers.
Blot Spills Immediately → Use a dry cloth for stains, gently dab with mild detergent and cold water.
Protect from Moisture → Avoid excessive humidity and use a rug pad to extend its lifespan.
Prevent Fading → Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight.
Rotate Every Few Months → Ensures even wear and longevity.
Fluff Maintain → If fibers flatten, gently brush with a soft-bristle brush.
Deep Clean → Opt for professional hand-washing every 5 years or as needed.
Sunbathe Monthly → If practical, let your rug in the sun occasionally. Sunlight's UV rays work as natural deodorizing and microbe protection.
◈ Avoid Harsh Chemicals → They can damage the natural wool fibers.

Will I have to pay customs fees or import duties?

For US-customers, there is no customs fees (due to An agreement that went into effect on January 1, 2006, designed to create open and fair trade between the United States and Morocco.) For other international orders shipped outside of Morocco, please be aware that your country's customs office may impose import duties, taxes, or fees. These potential charges are the responsibility of the customer. Customs policies vary widely by country, so we recommend contacting your local customs office for specific information on potential duties before placing your order.

How do you package the rugs to make sure they arrive safely?

We guarantee that your rug will arrive safely and in excellent condition, having been thoroughly inspected, cleaned, and, if necessary, restored prior to dispatch. We then fold it carefully and wrap it in multiple layers of durable, weather-resistant material to ensure it is fully protected from moisture and handling during its journey to you. We take every precaution to ensure your rug arrives in perfect condition.

Please remember that our rugs are handmade by artisans, not by machines. Slight variations in color, pattern, weave, and size are natural characteristics of these one-of-a-kind items. These charming imperfections are not considered defects but are part of the unique story and beauty of each piece.

Is Moroccan wool rugs durable and suitable for high-traffic areas?

Absolutely. Hand-knotted from 100% sheep wool, Moroccan rugs are renowned for their durability and resilience. Our rugs are perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, and other frequently used spaces, but be sure to follow care instructions, like rotating regularly, to keep it looking its best for years.

Do newly made wool Moroccan rugs shed?

It is completely normal for a new wool rug to shed a little at first. This is a natural characteristic of high-quality wool fibres and a sign of its authenticity. This initial shedding will decrease significantly over a few weeks with regular, gentle vacuuming.

Will the rug I receive look exactly like the one in the photo?

You will receive the exact rug shown in the photos. However, please remember that these are handmade items. We do our best to capture the colours accurately, but they may vary slightly depending on your screen's lighting and calibration. Any minor variations or "imperfections" in the pattern are part of the unique story and charm of your one-of-a-kind piece.

What are your rugs made of?

Our rugs are crafted from 100% natural, locally sourced sheep's wool. The wool's quality gives the rugs their signature softness, durability, and rich texture. The foundation (or warp) of the rug is sometimes made of cotton, which provides a strong and stable base for the wool knots.
