BLUE HALFA RUG

The Artisans Solidaires Kasserine use skills passed down over generations and techniques endemic to western Tunisia to weave local halfa grass, also known as esparto, into minimalist area rugs. After dying the grass with natural colorants like turmeric, the craftswomen use a loom to flat-weave the fibers into a durable, attractive kilim rug that fits effortlessly into the contemporary home.
