Natural Dyed Siroua Wool Blanket

In Morocco’s High Atlas Mountains, a collective of over fifty women artisans continues a centuries-old weaving tradition rooted in Amazigh heritage. Together, they operate a self-sustaining cooperative that provides fair wages, social security, and pensions—empowering women through community and craft.

Their process honors the old ways: wool is hand-sheared, washed in mountain streams, spun by hand, and tinted with henna-based natural dyes that protect both land and maker. These dyes use minimal water and no chemicals, preserving Morocco’s ecosystems while producing rich, earthen hues that reflect the Atlas landscape.

“We are weaving the way our grandmothers once did—slowly, naturally, and with respect for the earth.” Through every thread, the women of the High Atlas preserve both cultural and environmental heritage, ensuring their craft continues to sustain generations to come.
