Zephyr Berber Rug

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.


Made To Order
Each rug is custom made to order and our weavers get to knotting as soon as your order is placed. You rug will be ready in 2-4 weeks and shipped with FedEx straight from the loom to your door.

Abrash
At first glance, it reads as a solid blue. Look closer, and it’s a spectrum—layered oceanic tones that shift subtly across the pile. The subtle shifts in color come from the hand-spun wool, which varies in thickness and takes on dye unevenly, producing a spectrum of blues. Starting with unbleached, naturally hued wool means each strand carries its own base tone, creating depth and nuance in the final result.


This isn’t flat or uniform. It’s a study in restraint, where texture and tone do the heavy lifting—proof that minimalism doesn’t mean simple. It's what the rug world prizes as a mark of craftsmanship and quality: quietly complex, deeply considered, and entirely made by hand.


The Triple Berber Knot
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.


Handwoven in Khenifra, Morocco


Each rug is woven by hand in the High Atlas Mountains, using locally sourced wool and age-old techniques passed down through generations.


Crafted by women in active weaving cooperatives, these rugs support both cultural preservation and local livelihoods. The materials are native, the methods low-impact, and the process deeply rooted in place—making each piece as sustainable as it is meaningful.

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.
