Beni Ouarain. Berber Tribes of Morocco. Abrash. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Morocco.
"Abrash" refers to the natural variations in color found within hand-knotted rugs, particularly those made from hand-dyed wool. These variations occur due to differences in dye lots or changes in the wool itself over time, creating a subtle, multi-tonal effect. Rather than being seen as imperfections, abrash is often appreciated for adding depth, character, and a sense of authenticity to the rug.
