Kilim 243×175

Kilim rugs differ significantly from hand-knotted rugs in that they are woven by hand. As a result, they lack the typical high wool pile and are generally flatter and rougher. This method of production is less complex, which makes them more cost-effective. One advantage is their lightness and the fact that they can be used on both sides. Originally from Persia, kilims are now also widely produced in Afghanistan. Their designs are often simple and linear, due to the weaving technique.
