  • Notes:
  • Kilim, a word of Turkish origin, denotes the pileless textile of many uses produced by one of several flat weaving methods that have a common or closely related heritage, and are practiced in the geographical area that includes parts of Turkey, North Africa, the Balkans, the Caucasus, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Central Asia and China. Kilims are generally woven with a slit weave technique. The slit refers to the gap left between two blocks of color. It is created by returning the weft around the last warp in a color area, and the weft of the adjacent color is later returned around the adjacent warp. Weavers pack the weft tightly to completely cover the warp and often use diagonal patterns to avoid weakening the structure of the rug with vertical slits. This produces bold, sharp patterns that the weavers enjoy creating with more freedom allowed in the making of a plain-woven rug. It also results in a smooth kilim that is reversible with the same pattern on both sides in most cases. This is also why kilims are associated with geometrical designs. However, there are kilims made with floral designs too. This is the most common weaving technique used to create geometric and diagonal patterned kilims.
