What Are Bidjar Rugs Made Of?

Quality materials are key to a Bidjar rug’s celebrated durability. Traditionally, Bidjar rugs feature a handspun wool pile, providing a luxurious and soft finish while also standing up to everyday wear. The foundation often uses cotton, lending extra stability to the rug’s structure. The combination of wool and cotton, combined with a tight weaving technique, results in a robust, long-lasting masterpiece.
