Kilim Rugs - Kilim

Kilim rugs have become very popular within the last 10 years in the Western United States and it is obvious why. With beautiful colors intertwining in intricate designs, these inspired Persian rugs add a touch of spice to your home. This kilim inspired rug is made of 100% wool and cotton.

Kilim rugs are produced by tightly interweaving the warp and weft strands of the weave to produce a flat surface with no pile. When the end of a color boundary is reached, the weft yarn is wound back from the boundary point. Thus, if the boundary of a field is a straight vertical line, a vertical slit forms between the two different color areas where they meet. For this reason, most kilims can be classed as "slit woven" textiles. The slits are beloved by collectors, as they produce very sharp-etched designs, emphasizing the geometry of the weave.
