The photos don't do these rugs justice, you really have to see them in person. Please come! Just like in Morocco I'll make us some strong sweet mint tea and we can talk about our families for 2 hours before we haggle to a price. :) Come pick out the one that you love. You'll cherish it for a lifetime.
The stunning colors of these rugs come from natural organic dyes. Whites, blacks and browns come from the natural colors of the sheep's wool. The rest are produced from primarily vegetable sources: The madder plant yields a range of reds, oranges, and purples. Yellow is made from saffron or weld. Blue is traditionally made with indigo, Morocco has one of the few natural indigo dyeries still left in the world. Greens are made by overdyeing indigo with weld or by mixing indigo or cobalt with saffron. Various shades of red or violet are also made from insect dye or lac, derived from the shells of beetles. Infinite variations are created in these colors by the use of mordants.
