Handwoven Modern Grid Moroccan Wool Shag Rug

Contemporary Grid Pattern, Centuries-Old Atlas Weaving This handwoven Moroccan wool shag rug brings the tactile warmth of high-pile Atlas Mountain weaving into a contemporary grid design. Staggered rectangular blocks in warm camel brown and cocoa — or soft pastel pink variations — create subtle depth through tonal contrast, reinterpreting Amazigh (Berber) textile tradition through a modern lens. High-pile shag rugs from the Atlas Mountains have provided insulation against cold winters for centuries, and this handwoven contemporary collection continues that functional legacy. Each rug is woven to order — please allow approximately 30 days for production before shipping. What Makes This Rug Different Material: 100% natural wool dyed with Natural/vegetable dyes Pattern: Modern irregular grid with staggered rectangular blocks — a Checkered Berber design Pile height: High pile, 1.5–2 inches — deeply plush and cushioned underfoot Colors: Warm camel brown with cocoa pattern, or soft pastel pink variations Available sizes: Runner 3’3″ x 9’10” (1 x 3 m) | Medium 4’11” x 6’7″ (1.5 x 2 m) | Large 6’7″ x 9’10” (2 x 3 m) | Extra Large 9’10” x 13’1″ (3 x 4 m) Fringe: Hand-knotted natural fringe, 2–3 inches on both short ends Reversible: No — single-sided pile construction Natural variation: Slight color differences between dye lots are inherent to Natural/vegetable-dyed wool — each rug carries natural variations expected with handmade craft The Weavers Behind This Rug This rug is woven by the Tiftilin weavers of the Middle Atlas — Amazigh women who have passed this craft from mother to daughter across generations in the cedar-forested highlands south of Fès. Rugs woven in this Atlas Mountain tradition use 100% natural wool dyed with natural and vegetable dyes, a process that produces slight tonal variation and gives each piece its distinctive character. The high-pile shag technique creates a deeply cushioned surface that has insulated Atlas Mountain homes against cold winters for centuries. Care & Longevity Natural wool shag rugs reward simple, consistent care. Vacuum weekly on the lowest suction setting without a beater bar, rotate every six months to even out wear, and spot-clean only with cold water and mild soap. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which can fade natural dyes over time. For full care instructions, visit our Moroccan wool rug care guide.
