Kilim 245×160

Kilim rugs differ fundamentally from hand-knotted rugs in that they are woven by hand. As a result, they do not have a raised pile of wool and are often flatter and rougher than knotted wool rugs. Their less complex manufacturing process makes them significantly less expensive. Another advantage of kilim rugs is their lightness, which allows them to be used on both sides. Hand-woven kilims originally come from former Persia, but nowadays they are also often made in Afghanistan. The patterns of these rugs are rather simple and straightforward, which is due to their special weaving technique. Kilim rugs are valued for their ease of use and traditional design and offer an inexpensive alternative to classic wool rugs.
