Karoo Looms Weavery

Karoo Looms Weavery is a hidden gem that's not to be missed. From spinning and dyeing their own yarns to weaving exquisite floor rugs and tapestries, each step of the production process is carried out by skilled artisans, especially women with decades of experience. The result? Timeless pieces that tell a unique story and grace homes, offices, and galleries around the world. It's no wonder that royalty, celebrities, and top designers are among their loyal customers.

In 2010, Sophia Booley joined Karoo Looms without any prior weaving experience, but her passion and drive propelled the business to new heights. Today, most of their sales come from international clients thanks to Sophia's innovative marketing strategies and dedication to quality.

To top it off, Karoo Looms shares a stunning space called Karoo Souk with Sophia's husband, Kashief who runs his own designer blacksmith studio and there is a special coffee shop with a view to get lost in. This is an oasis that they have established for creativity, and it serves as a sanctuary for preserving, practicing, and advancing traditional crafts as a valuable heritage of the community.

So, if you're in the area, don't miss the chance to experience the magic of Karoo Looms Weavery and Karoo Souk for yourself."
