| Kilims are flat
woven rather than pile woven. These particular kilims are
woven using a slit tapestry technique which just means that
the little holes in them are supposed to be there. There
are no tufts of wool sticking up like in a pile carpet. As a
result, they are much easier to make and they take much less
time. So, they are cheaper!
These kilims were hand
crafted in the tradition of old Qashq'ai kilims. Some of the
same motifs and designs were used. They are incredibly
versatile and are inexpensive enough to put in places where
you just want that extra splash of color or where you want to
hide the floor.
These would be perfect used
in a summer lakeside cabin, as a picnic blanket at your
favorite wine and cheese concert in the park, or to spread on
the ground when the grandkids beg to sleep in the yard.
They'll travel anywhere as they are lighter. They will also
do well with pets and small children as spills can hide in the
pattern and be cleaned up easily. They are all wool- wool
weft on a wool warp. This makes them pliable and versatile.
