How are kilims made?

A kilim rug is made according to the traditional oriental method of making rugs. A kilim is a handmade carpet without a pile. The weaving technique used results in a flat, thin cloth without upright threads. Kilims are mainly made of wool. Nomads used the wool of camels, goats and sheep for this. This wool is spun by hand and then processed on a loom into a beautiful and very detailed pattern. 

Finally the cloth is colored. Paint of natural origin is used, for example from plants. After drying, the approximately three millimeter thick kilim is ready and you can enjoy its beautiful color palette. Kilims are often a bit crooked in shape. This is because the rug is completely handmade. It is confirmation of the authenticity of the rug. An important feature of the weaving technique used is that the patterns on both sides of the rug are virtually the same; there is no front or back.
