Patchwork Color Block Rug — Handwoven Mrirt Wool in Jewel Tones

A Patchwork Color Block Rug Built for Bold Interiors

This handwoven patchwork color block rug carries the Mrirt weaving tradition into vivid new territory. Rectangular blocks of golden yellow, burnt orange, navy blue, teal, burgundy, olive green, cream, chocolate brown, magenta, and emerald are outlined in crisp black, forming a mosaic that reads as both contemporary art and Amazigh design language. The wool in this rug is dyed with natural vegetable dyes — plant-based colorants that produce rich, living color which synthetic dyes cannot replicate.

The Weavers Behind This Rug

This rug is woven by the Tiftilin weavers of the Middle Atlas — Amazigh women who have passed wool-handling craft from mother to daughter across generations in the cedar-forested highlands south of Fès. The Mrirt tradition produces rugs with a distinctive high pile and bold, graphic compositions rooted in the same Amazigh textile heritage as the better-known Beni Ourain style. Each Mrirt rug is handwoven on a vertical loom over weeks of sustained work, with every color block placed and knotted by hand. Each rug is woven to order — please allow approximately 30 days for production before shipping.

Care & Longevity

Natural wool rewards consistent, gentle 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 only with cold water and mild soap. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which can fade vegetable dyes over time. For detailed care instructions, visit our Moroccan wool rug care guide.
