This is called a Hanbel, and can be hung on a plain wall to add a pop of colour. It is mainly woven with two colors or even more, and it often contains intricate geometric shapes and designs.
Itto was born in Boulmane and learned how to weave from her step mother. Itto moved to Timahdit once she married and has lived in the area ever size. Itto finds great joy in marking rugs and other crafts for her house. Since she was never able to finish school, she focuses heavily on developing her skills at weaving. She hopes that through her skills and the cooperative, that the women her village will be able to continue earning income even after the Peace Corps Volunteer left.
