Rustic Hanbel

This beautiful Hanbel was handcrafted in a village in the High Atlas mountains, where the majority of weavers use the hand-knotting technique for rug making. Only two weavers out of hundred, practice the flat-weaving technique. These weavers create striped or amorphous patterned rugs using wool yarn that they have dyed themselves. This particular rug was created by Abazil Tiaza, known for incorporating charming and unique details in her rugs (check the close-up pictures).

Hanbels are thin, blanket-like rugs with a relatively coarse surface, crafted from rustic wool. We recommend using an anti-slip mat beneath them to prevent slipping and curling. This delightful piece is made from 100% sheep’s wool on a cotton base and features fringes at both ends.

** All our rugs are carefully hand-knotted. Each piece is completely unique, bearing the individual self-expression of the weaver woman as well as the weaving traditions of the tribes of the Atlas Mountains. We handpick each and every piece of our collection. Please note that Berber rugs are handcrafted products so you may spot minor imperfections. We think this only adds to their character and charm.
