Lead Time Every Beni rug is meticulously handwoven and then washed and air-dried in the fresh Moroccan Atlas mountain breeze. While many steps go into creating each rug, it's the washing process that truly sets it apart. After weaving, each rug is washed up to ve times and dried in the desert sun, where the heat and moisture lock in color and soften the wool. This proprietary process, perfected over three years, creates durable rugs that will last a lifetime.
