Beni Mrirt Wool Rug – Moroccan Luxury Handwoven in the Middle Atlas
The Beni Mrirt wool rug is a statement of Moroccan artistry, comfort, and timeless elegance.
Crafted by Berber women in the Khenifra region of the Middle Atlas Mountains, it blends centuries-old weaving traditions with a refined, contemporary look.
Each rug is handwoven using only the finest local sheep’s wool, chosen for its softness, resilience, and natural beauty.
This combination of superior material and skilled craftsmanship results in a piece that enhances both modern and classic interiors.
The Legacy of Beni Mrirt Craftsmanship
A Beni Mrirt rug is more than a decorative floor covering — it’s a living piece of cultural heritage.
The weaving tradition is passed down through generations, with each artisan adding her personal touch to the design.
Patterns may be geometric, abstract, or minimalist, yet always carry subtle symbolic meaning tied to Berber history and daily life.
These details transform the rug into an heirloom-worthy treasure, not just a home accessory.
Unmatched Comfort and Quality
The hallmark of a Beni Mrirt wool rug is its dense, luxurious pile.
The weaving technique often involves double knots, ensuring a thick, durable surface that feels incredibly soft underfoot.
Wool naturally regulates temperature, keeping rooms warm in winter and cool in summer.
It is also hypoallergenic, flame-resistant, and moisture-regulating — ideal for homes that value both beauty and practicality.
Versatile Color and Design Choices
Beni Mrirt rugs are available in both neutral and vibrant palettes.
Neutral tones — such as ivory, beige, or cream — work beautifully in minimalist or Scandinavian-inspired spaces.
Bolder colors, including deep reds, blues, or purples, create a focal point in eclectic or bohemian interiors.
Whatever the color, the rug’s texture and handwoven character add depth and warmth to any room.
Ethical and Sustainable Production
Every Beni Mrirt rug is made through a slow, careful process that respects nature and community.
Wool is washed, carded, and spun by hand before weaving begins.
Natural dyes derived from plants and minerals are often used, avoiding harsh chemicals.
By purchasing one, you directly support fair wages for artisans and the preservation of an endangered craft tradition.
As noted by the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum - Lisbon, Moroccan rugs are cultural artifacts, not just décor.

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.

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.
