Sheep’s wool, and goat and camel hair are used by Bedouin tribes and villagers all over Jordan to produce rugs, bags, and other beautiful items. Traditionally the entire process is done by hand; from the washing, carding, spinning and dying of the yarn to the finished product. The Bedouin style of weaving is unusual in that it produces "warped face rugs" unlike the traditional "weft" rugs. Warped face rugs are preferable for their high-density and signature texture. Most weavers in Jordan purchase their raw materials from Madaba. The Bani Hamida rugs, produced by the locals of the Bani Hamida Mountain 35km away from Madaba city, are most famous.
