At Hand to Hand, we are working to create a more mindful shopping experience around Moroccan crafts by building a deeper and more meaningful connection between our creative customers and artisan makers.

This artisan craft kit introduces you to basic weaving skills and to the colorful world of one of Morocco’s iconic carpet styles. Boucharouite carpets, (pronounced boo-shay-REET), a Moroccan Arabic word meaning ‘a piece torn from used clothing’, or a ‘scrap’, are both practical and sustainable. Strips of recycled fabric and clothing are woven and/or knotted and secured with wool. Patterns are abstract and asymmetrical, yet full of meaningful tribal symbols
