Additional Information: 

Our Soft Coloured Kilim collection offers an appealing understated look when compared to the more vibrant look of traditional Kilim Rugs. 

Like all of our Kilims, these rugs represent excellent value for money; each rug is a one-of-a-kind and handwoven. The wonderful colours show very gentle and delicate variations of shade.

This Afghan Kilim consists of wool and is a handmade flat-weave, i.e. a rug without pile.  The weft coloured weft threads are woven in blocks which creates the pattern, and where two colours meet there is a tiny gap – hence the term slit weave.

One of the many benefits of this type of kilim is that because of the way it is constructed it is the same on both sides, meaning that it can be used either way up.

For use on a hard floor (wood, tiles, etc) or on carpet Underlay is recommended to prevent slippage.
