WOVEN in the ATLAS

1

A shepherd tends a flock of sheep in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. In the summer, the flock is sheared of its winter wool. It can take 50-100 coats to make a standard sized rug.

2

The wool is bundled and carried to the Oum Er-Rbia River, where it is rinsed and beat against the rocks to cleanse it of a year’s worth of wear.

The wool dries in the summer sun.

3

The women spin the wool into long strings of yarn using just their hands, shins, and wooden dowels.

4

Now, the yarn is either left as natural, or dyed using natural pigments and then returned to the studio.

The new yarn is strung onto looms.

5

The women begin the long process of weaving a design. Each woman (sometimes working with a partner) works on a rug from start to finish. This can take well over a month of tying knots.

6

The finished rugs are then doused with water, scrubbed clean, and draped over wooden racks where they’ll dry in the mountain air.
