QualityHandcraft can help with your search for Moroccan Rugs
Moroccan Azilal rugs are a type of Berber rug from the provincial capital of central Morocco in the High Atlas Mountains in Morocco. They are made from pure sheep wool mixed with cotton and horizontally woven using a gridded line of knots.The Azilal carpets are becoming more popular as a trendsetting alternative to the better known Beni Ourain rugs. Moroccan Azilal Rugs are becoming just as popular as the Beni Ourain Moroccan Rugs. It is interesting to note this stylish textile tribal variation has remained a secret until recently. Carpets from the Azilal province were almost completely unknown to the market until the later part of the 20th century. The vibrant culture of creativity is alive and well in this area which is why everyone loves these handwoven colorful carpets so much. Let us dive even deeper into who makes these wonderful creations, what makes them unique, how they are made. QualityHandcraft can help with your search for Moroccan Rugs
Who Makes Azilal Rugs?
The Berber tribal women of Azilal Morocco design and create Azilal Moroccan carpets and rugs exclusively. They are used for domestic purposes and playfully use mostly shapes and color variations in their original floor covering creations. The family living rooms are filled with beautiful rug art that makes every home interior unique. Since these rugs are made by the matriarchs of the family, each one is the pride of the home. It may have taken several months to years of dedicated hand woven work to make. The tribal weaving tradition demonstrates the value of home making virtues within the family unit that each mother passes down to her children. Exert effort, you shall be rewarded. Moroccan Proverb. In the most traditional sense, Moroccan tribal weavings are made exclusively by women and only for personal use in the home.Let us take the pain away from your search for Moroccan Rugs
What Makes Azilal Rugs So Unique?
The aboriginal patterns using traditional nomadic Berber tribal motifs and color palettes make Azilal carpets truly one of a kind.The cultural traditional weaving techniques passed down from generation to generation are a little different from those used to create Beni Ourain rugs. The rug weavers use virgin wool to create alternate rows of single knotted lines with one or two braided lines. The result is a shorter rug with a soft velvety texture that feels heavenly under your feet. Bold colors embellish every carpet using all natural tinted wool and colored cotton threads. The back and base of the rug is usually a white or cream color adorning the natural color of undyed wool. QualityHandcraft can help with your search for “&E6&”
The meaning of every design represents femininity and family tribal history. The intricate use of symbolic pattern characteristics using archaic symbols and images represent ancestral myths and playful storytelling. It is not uncommon to see very whimsical artistic designs in their work. Much of this was born out of a lack of written language. The ancient Berber weavers found creative ways to incorporate their expressions and record their heritage visually. Let us take the pain away from your search for Moroccan Rugs

Rotate your rugs frequently to equalize the damaging effects of the sunlight. Continual direct exposure to sunlight will damage a rug over time, use window shades, shutters, or heavy curtains to safeguard your investment.
Protect your rugs from Fumes and Dampness from furnaces, stoves, chimneys and auto exhaust can mix with humidity in the atmosphere to form an acid that fades and deteriorates the appearance of wool. Over time, dampness will rot the threads and destroy the fibers of a rug. Keep them in a dry environment.
Wear and tear If a rug is cut or torn, have a competent person repair the damage as soon as possible. Holes can expand very quickly and ruin an otherwise repairable carpet. With ordinary use, the selvage edges tend to fray as they are not as compressed as the rug pile. Worn edges can easily be re-darned. Fringes can be replaced. Worn or damaged areas in the middle of a rug can be re-knotted. Even large holes can be restored.
Moths can cause extensive damage to Oriental rugs; however, a carpet in normal use is rarely in danger from moths. Frequent rotation and regular exposure to light and air usually keeps moths at bay. Eliminate these pests and safeguard against their return by spraying the front and back of a carpet every six months with moth spray.
Padding an Oriental rug the life can be doubled with the use of good-quality padding. Padding protects the rug, especially in heavily-trafficked areas. The best padding is made of hair or fiber with a rubberized surface to prevent moving and wrinkling. Avoid synthetic pad that takes on the appearance of rubber as it turns to an abrasive powder after several years.
Cleaning The beauty and life of Oriental rugs are vitally dependent on their cleanliness. Lack of maintenance will contribute to loss in the potential investment.
Sweeping the rug with a broom at least once a week removes loose soil and brings out it’s natural sheen
Beating is one of the best methods for cleaning a rug. It should be beaten several times on each side, always in dry weather.
Vacuuming Try to use a low suction level and a new bag. Never vacuum against the nap, as this presses dirt back into the rug. (Run your hand across the pile from fringe to fringe to determine the direction of the nap.) Do not vacuum the fringes. The suction of a powerful vacuum cleaner can tear the fringe.
Washing Oriental rugs should be washed every three to five years, depending on their use and the amount of traffic they endure. Using steam-cleaning or chemicals on an Oriental rug removes the natural oils from the wool. The pile becomes brittle, and the carpet wears out sooner. Do not, unless absolutely necessary, submerge an Oriental rug in water. Surface cleaning is usually all that is required.
Crushed pile Revive carpet pile that has been crushed by heavy furniture by brushing the indented area with a soft brush. Moisten with a spray bottle, and brush again.
Storage If a rug must be stored, it must be inspected regularly. To store a rug, wrap it in fabric. An Oriental rug needs to breathe. It can rot or mildew in plastic. A rug can be rolled up and stored in a chest with some paradichlorobenzene crystals, which make the wool inedible to moths. DO NOT lay carpets flat on top of one another for any length of time. A rug stored in a damp or humid area will mildew, which discolors and weakens the fibers. A hot or poorly ventilated storage area will dry out the base of the rug, making it brittle, destroying strength and durability. If you act immediately, you can prevent virtually any spill from becoming a stain.
We always recommend that you use a Professional Rug cleaning Service as a safe guard in protecting your Rug.

After many weeks of searching, I found this lovely rug, I asked the seller for more pictures and they were kind enough to send me a video of the rug from a few different angles. Beautiful colours although a bit lighter than the photos shown. Overall fantastic quality and super fast shipping (it actually came a week early), just wish it was a little darker.
