Kilim 291×77

Unlike hand-knotted carpets, kilim carpets are woven by hand and do not have a high pile of wool, which makes them flatter and rougher. They are less complex to manufacture and are therefore often less expensive. One advantage is their lightness and the fact that they can be used on both sides. Originally from Persia, kilims are now also produced in Afghanistan. They are known for their simple, linear patterns, which are created using a special weaving technique.
