A small kilim with three indigo stripes. I wove this between two collaborations. It is a single piece, not part of a series.
Five weeks. Indigo dyed at the cooperative dye-yard in Aït Hadiddou.
The person who made this.
I have been weaving since I was twelve. My grandmother taught me, then her sister taught me the patterns my grandmother did not know. I work on a vertical loom in the room behind my house. Most rugs take me between six and ten weeks depending on the size and the knot density. I work in undyed wool from the village and dye the colour myself with madder, indigo, and walnut. I do not weave the same rug twice. If you collaborate with me, you will tell me what room it is for and I will weave you something only you have.
