Kilim 301×202

Kilim rugs differ fundamentally from hand-knotted rugs in that they are woven by hand and do not have a high wool pile, which often makes them flatter and rougher. This simplified production process generally makes them less expensive. Another advantage is their lower weight and the fact that they can be used on both sides. Originally from Persia, kilims are now also widely produced in Afghanistan. They are known for their simple, linear patterns, which are created by the special weaving technique.
