1. Harvesting Wool's Essence
Our odyssey commences high in the Atlas Mountains, where shepherds, custodians of this ancient craft, tend to their flocks. In harmony with the rhythm of nature, each summer sees the shearing of winter wool—a ritual that sets the stage for our rug-making journey. For a standard-sized masterpiece, the tender yield of 50-100 coats is the heart of our artistic endeavor.
2. Washing and Preparing
The wool is meticulously washed and left to dry under the warm summer sun, ensuring it's primed for the next stages of production.
3. Transforming Wool into Threads
Expert artisans skillfully spin the prepared wool, turning it into fine threads for weaving.
4. Organic Dies
At Soiree Berber, our commitment to authenticity extends to the very colors that grace our rugs. Unlike mass-produced rugs using synthetic dyes, our Moroccan rugs boast a spectrum of hues derived from nature itself. We take pride in utilizing natural dyes extracted from a rich tapestry of plants, flowers, and roots. The extraction process, though meticulous, is a testament to our dedication to genuine craftsmanship.
5. The Art of Berber Knots
Enter the realm where the hands of skilled Berber women, the guardians of ancient traditions, embark on a weaving odyssey that transcends time. It's a dance of fingers and threads, a rhythmic dedication that defines each rug from inception to completion.
