Authentic rug fully handmade from chenille yarn. Chenille may refer to either a type of yarn or fabric made from it. Chenille is the French word for caterpillar whose fur the yarn is supposed to resemble. This exquisite rug is made by hand and woven by Habiba of a cooperative in the Zemmour region in Morocco.
Zemmour Kilim rugs are luxurious and perfect for any room and decor, and could be used as an area rug in the living room, or even a runner in the hallway.

Habiba specialises in weaving Zemmour rugs. She moved to Zemmour after her marriage, and met people from different cultures and regions of Morocco. Being young, she learned weaving and excelled in weaving the Zemmour rug after years of practice. A strong woman, she fought for her rights and that of her peers, and formed a cooperative to protect their rights. Today, more than 50 women in the town and countryside are working in the cooperative she set up. Their efforts were recognised by the Ministry of Artisanship of Morocco and they were awarded a quality label.
