As a traditional women-led, slow-fashion process, rug-weaving is largely done in the rural and mountainous areas of Morocco. It is often accomplished in private homes or small ateliers where women can easily access their vertical looms. Women oscillate between a central role as primary caregiver along with other responsibilities—one can imagine that rug-weaving cannot be done quickly.
Furthermore one can imagine that the approach of such artistic production, when contextualized, emphasizes the weaver's abundant storytelling abilities, patience, and love.
Rug-weaving in Morocco is a multi-generational transmission of knowledge that encompasses many skills and steps, including obtaining the sheep wool, repetitive combing, careful spinning, dyeing, washing and drying. The washing phase happen in a nearby spring or source of water and the drying phase happens under the sun—naturally enhancing the colors to even greater vivid and vibrant shades. The slow practice of rug-weaving sometimes takes up to two months or longer.
