Kilim 105×100

Kilim rugs differ fundamentally from hand-knotted rugs in that they are woven by hand. As a result, they do not have a high wool pile, are flatter and rougher to the touch. Their production is less complex, which generally makes them more affordable. One advantage is their lightness and the fact that they can be used on both sides. Originally from former Persia, kilims are now also widely produced in Afghanistan. Their patterns are often simple and linear, due to the weaving technique.
