What Are Hand-Woven Kilim Rugs?
A Hand-Woven Kilim rug — also called a Flatweave — uses what is called a "Slit-weave" technique. The Slit-weave technique uses only a warp yarn as the foundation, allowing the weaver to build the rug by interlacing the yarn as the weft.
To avoid long vertical slits that can make a Kilim rug less durable, most are created with diagonal or horizontal patterns. This is why it's very common to see octagons, diamonds and triangular shapes in a Flatweave rug.
Kilim rugs were first used by the Egyptians, dating back to about 1400 B.C. — making them one of the oldest rug-making traditions in the world.
What Makes a Kilim Rug So Special?
1- Most Kilim rugs are reversible — two rugs in one.
2- Hand-Woven Kilim rugs are built with natural fibers such as Wool and Cotton.
3- Kilim rugs don't shred — unlike machine-made rugs that use synthetic fibers and constantly shed.
