Hand-Knotted in the Middle Atlas — A Mrirt Wool Rug in Navy, Terracotta, and Cream
This navy terracotta boho wool rug brings the graphic clarity of geometric Berber design into a modern color-block composition. Hand-knotted from natural wool and dyed with vegetable-based pigments, it pairs deep navy blue and warm terracotta blocks against a soft cream ground — a palette that works equally well in a bohemian living room, a coastal-inspired bedroom, or a contemporary office. Each rug is woven to order — please allow approximately 30 days for production before shipping.

The Weaving Tradition Behind This Rug
This rug is woven in the Mrirt tradition of the Middle Atlas highlands, where Amazigh women have hand-knotted wool floor coverings for generations using locally sourced fleece and natural vegetable dyes. Mrirt rugs are distinguished by their medium pile, geometric block compositions, and the use of vegetable dyes that soften gracefully over decades of use. The work is carried out by the Tiftilin weavers of the Middle Atlas, Amazigh women who preserve this craft in the cedar-forested mountain region south of Fès. Every piece is made to order after purchase and follows the design shown in the product photographs, with natural handmade and dye-lot variations expected.
Care & Longevity
Natural wool rewards straightforward care. Vacuum weekly on the lowest suction setting without a beater bar, rotate the rug every six months to distribute wear evenly, and spot-clean spills with cold water and mild soap only — never steam-clean or machine-wash. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which can shift vegetable-dyed colours over time. For detailed maintenance guidance, see our Moroccan wool rug care guide.
Styling & Trade
The navy-and-terracotta palette pairs naturally with wood, leather, and linen — see our guide to Moroccan-modern living room design for layout ideas.
