Moroccan rugs are traditionally handcrafted from premium sheep’s wool, celebrated for its exceptional softness, durability, and natural insulating qualities. The rich wool fibers create the rug’s distinctive plush texture while offering long-lasting resilience for everyday use. Many authentic Moroccan rugs also feature a cotton foundation, but wool remains the defining material and hallmark of their craftsmanship.
