Ait Tiggal’s Grid Kharita

This intricate rug was woven by the elders of the village of Ait Tigga.

This rug style has a few different names; Golden Fingers, Kharita (“map” in Arabic) or Tazenakht. This complex weaving technique consists of a labyrinthine of geometric shapes that has the same design on both sides which allows this rug to be reversible.

Woven with 100% live sheep’s wool, the colors are created with natural vegetables and spice blends – ingredients like henna, pomegranate skin, saffron, indigo and mint to name a few. 

This Flatweave is incredibly strong and will withstand the test of time.
