Gray Cactus Silk Rug — Handmade Moroccan Sabra 100x150cm

Handwoven Gray Cactus Silk Rug — Sabra Fiber and Wool in the Amazigh Tradition

This gray cactus silk rug brings together two of Morocco’s oldest textile traditions: the lustrous Sabra fiber spun from Agave cactus and the sturdy wool heritage of Amazigh weavers in the Atlas Mountains. At 39.4 x 59.1 in (100 x 150 cm), its flat-weave construction and Berber geometric motifs — diamonds, crosses, and tribal symbols in terracotta, cream, and soft blue over a gray field — make it a natural anchor for a bedside, reading corner, or layered under a coffee table.

Key Details

• Dimensions: 39.4 x 59.1 in (100 x 150 cm) — sized for a bedside rug, reading nook, or layered accent
• Pile height: Flatweave (no pile) — thin, flexible, and easy to layer over larger rugs or hard flooring
• Material: Cactus silk (Sabra) blended with wool — the Agave-derived Sabra thread gives a subtle silk-like sheen, while wool adds structure and durability
• Dyes: Natural/vegetable dyes — terracotta, cream, and blue tones derived from plant-based pigments
• Pattern: Berber geometric motifs — diamonds, crosses, and tribal symbols carrying traditional meaning in Amazigh textile culture
• Color: Gray field with terracotta, cream, and subtle blue accents
• Natural variation: Slight color differences between dye lots are inherent to vegetable-dyed, handmade textiles — the rug you receive may vary slightly from the photo

Atlas Mountains Weaving Heritage

This rug is woven by the Tiftilin weavers of the Middle Atlas, Amazigh women who carry forward a weaving tradition rooted in the cedar-forested highlands south of Fès. Sabra cactus silk — extracted by hand from Agave leaves, spun into thread, and woven on vertical looms — is one of North Africa’s most distinctive textile traditions, and each rug requires weeks of sustained work from start to finish. Each rug is woven to order — please allow approximately 30 days for production before shipping.

Care & Styling

Flatweave cactus silk and wool rugs benefit from straightforward care: vacuum regularly on a low setting (no beater bar), rotate every six months to even out wear, and spot-clean only with cold water and mild soap. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight to protect the vegetable dyes. For detailed instructions, see our Moroccan wool rug care guide. In your space, this gray Sabra rug pairs naturally with neutral and earth-toned interiors — explore our guide to Moroccan-modern living room design for ideas.
