Materials

Moroccan Wool Pile
Moroccan wool is sourced from active weaving communities—not industrial farms—where sheep graze at high altitudes and are sheared just once a year. This slower cycle produces longer, stronger fibers that shed far less than wool from hotter, lowland regions. Breeds like Sardi and Beni Guil yield wool with naturally high lanolin content, giving it a soft, springy loft that create the plush piles Moroccan rugs are known for.

Cotton Foundation
A strong rug needs a strong base. That’s why we use cotton—not wool—for the foundation. Cotton offers the highest tensile strength, allowing it to anchor a thick wool pile without stretching, warping, or degrading over time. It keeps the rug flat, balanced, and made to last.

Design

Triple Berber Knotted
Most Moroccan rugs today are made with a tensioned false knot—quicker to weave, but prone to loosening, shedding, and distortion over time. We do it differently. Every one of our rugs is constructed using the traditional triple Berber knot: a time-intensive technique that uses more wool and creates a deep, plush pile anchored to a secure foundation. The result is a rug that’s not only softer underfoot, but built to last for generations.

Made to Order

Each rug is custom made just for you. As soon as your order is placed, our weavers begin knotting by hand—no machines, no shortcuts. Your rug will be finished in 2–4 weeks and shipped via FedEx straight from the loom to your door.

Please note: Because each piece is handmade, slight variations in color, pattern, and size are part of the process—and the charm. All made-to-order rugs are final sale.

100% Moroccan Wool

Moroccan wool comes from high-altitude herding communities, where sheep are sheared just once a year. The slower cycle yields longer, stronger fibers that shed less. Breeds like Sardi and Beni Guil produce wool rich in lanolin, giving Moroccan rugs their signature soft, springy pile.

No Shortcuts

While most modern Moroccan rugs rely on the faster tensioned false knot, ours are woven using the traditional triple Berber knot — a labor-intensive method that uses up to 30% more wool per square meter. Each knot is individually looped and secured to the warp, creating a dense, even structure that resists shedding, distortion, and fiber fatigue.

Handmade In The High Atlas Mountains

Handwoven in the High Atlas Mountains from locally sourced wool, each rug reflects generations of craftsmanship. Made by women in active cooperatives, they sustain both tradition and local livelihoods through low-impact, place-based methods.

Engineered for Footfeel

That extra wool isn’t just for durability — it changes the physics underfoot. The triple-knot weave creates a 25–35 mm pile with natural spring-back, dispersing pressure evenly across the surface. Combined with the elasticity of lanolin-rich Moroccan wool, the result is a rug with remarkable buoyancy and tactile plushness.

Questions About The Dune Berber Rug

How long until I receive my order?
