The women working here have both modern metal looms and replicas of old wooden ones. They mostly make Beni M'rirt carpets of undyed wool, usually cream with dark brown or black diamond shapes. They are happy to explain the process as they work. There are also some old handiras (wedding blankets) and other textiles for sale.
