Kilim Rugs

Simply Beautiful and Natural

The weft, also known as the width of the rug, goes under and over the warp, also known as length of the rug. The weft is mostly made of cotton or wool. The Warp is mostly made of wool. You might also find two or more segments of a kilim weaved together, and you won’t be able to tell since the design conceals the stitching of the different segments.

These rugs were mostly made in Iran, Afghanistan, Turkey and other oriental countries in Asia, Central Europe and north of Africa. Given the different areas, kilims can come from they have different spelling variation, the most popular is kilim.

The design typically consists of a border pattern that runs along the sides of the kilim. Sometimes, one side of the kilim has fringes the other can have a woven edge. Colored threads are woven in the kilim like a basket. So you can flip a Kilim on both sides and you can’t really tell which side is top or bottom. Vegetable dye was used as a source of colors.
