Kilim Rugs
Talking about their practicality, kilim rugs provide warmth and comfort as they are made totally from wool. Wool also makes them durable, supple and easy to handle. However, they may not feel as soft as Persian and Oriental handmade rugs since kilim rugs are flatweave and don’t offer much cushion as compared to piled rugs. A major advantage of flatweave Kilim rugs is that they are reversible and can be used from both sides. Also, since they lack a pile, Kilims are incredibly easy to clean and maintain because the dirt and dust particles don’t get trapped too deeply in the rug fibers. The carpets feature classical tribal design patterns and can be found in a range of beautiful bright hues as well as a variety of different sizes. At QALEEN, we feature a fabulous collection of kilim rugs you can choose from to enhance your home. All are at great prices with free shipping!

Kilim Rugs: Perfection in Each Knot!
Kilim is a Turkish word which means a pileless textile. Simply put, they are a flat tapestry-woven carpet. They are made in North Africa, the Balkans, the Caucasus, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Central Asia, China, and Turkey being the eminent hub.
Kilim unleashes the Oriental beauty that was once found in the palaces and homes of aristocrats. However, these Patchwork rugs are more than beauty.
They are known for their practicality as they provide warmth and comfort as they are woven entirely from wool. Wool also makes them supple durable and easy to handle. Apart from being used as floor coverings, they are available as hangings, saddles, bench or bed covering. Kilim rugs are available in a range of colors including blue, red, brown and other shades. You can also get a monochromatic Kilim rug to go with minimalistic décor and modern furnishing.
WHAT MAKES KILIM RUGS STAND OUT OF THE REST?
Although they are generally included in the category of oriental rugs, their features make them stand out of the rest of Turkish rugs, Persian carpets, and Pakistani floorcoverings.
For example, a pile rug features individual short strands of different colors being knotted onto the warps and held together by pressing the wefts. Kilim designs, on the other hand, are handwoven by interweaving the variously colored warps and wefts, thus, the creation is known as a flatweave.
Kilims are made with the slitweave technique. The slit is the gap left between two blocks of color. The weft is returned around the last warp in a color area while the weft of the adjacent color is directed towards the adjacent warp.
Weavers hold the weft tightly for two reasons. Firstly, it covers and often supports diagonal patterns. Secondly, it strengthens the structure of the rug with vertical slits. This way, the technique lets the weavers produce bold and sharp patterns than a plain weave.
Surprisingly, the manufacturing of these beautiful kilim rugs only requires a few materials. Generally, they are made with simple tools like a loom, a shuttle, a beating comb, and a knife/scissors. Cotton, animal hair and silks are not used more often. However, wool is the primary and the only material used to weave a Kilim rug. It may be paired up with other options like cotton. Sometimes, Kilim rugs are decked up with beads, gold or silver threads, and small decorative pieces.
These charming flatweave rugs are available in a range of different sizes, but small Kilim rugs are the most commonly found ones. However, you can also shop large Kilim rugs and runners from our online collection at great prices.
The most common Kilim rug shape is rectangular. But if you need a round Kilim rug for your entrance or to style your bedroom, you can always get it custom-made with us.
Coming to their durability, if you buy a Kilim handmade rug from us, we ensure you that the artifact would be made by skilled weavers, using the finest quality wool and expert weaving techniques. These three factors are what make our Kilim area rugs highly durable and long lasting. But, if you want your Kilim to retain its original shape for years, you’d also need to take proper care of the rug and clean it on a regular basis. If you don’t have much time, there’s no need to worry since Kilim rugs are quite easy to maintain. For instance, to get rid of dust and dirt particles, all you need to do is take your Kilim rug outside and give it a good shake. Apart from this, use a vacuum cleaner at least twice per week, and remember to do so from both sides of the rug.
Lastly, when purchasing a Kilim handmade rug from us, there’s no need to worry about additional shipment charges. Whether you live in New York, Virginia, or any other part of USA, we’d deliver the rug to your doorstep without any shipment charges whatsoever.
How to Take Proper Care of Your Handmade Rug?
If you’ve bought a no-pile Kilim rug available at our online store, then there’s no need to worry much about the rug’s cleaning and maintenance. Even if you don’t vacuum a Kilim regularly, it’s easy to get rid of the dirt and dust particles on its surface by simply holding it up, taking it outdoors, and giving the flat-weave kilim a good shake.
On the other hand, if you’ve invested in an exquisite Bokhara handmade rug for sale, a Baluchi handmade rug, or a Tribal rug online, you’d need to follow a proper cleaning routine.
