It has a wool pile, wool wefts and woollen warps. This is an incredibly intricately woven rug. When you look closely at the pictures you will notice that the medallion centrepiece and the corner cartouche motifs in the corners are made from hand-knotted wool pile. These elements therefore show as being raised when compared with the flat-woven surroundings. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe eagle-eyed viewer will also notice that the design elements of the flat weave differ in technique from the plain-weave beige background expanse. These design elements are intricately woven with an elaborate flat-weaving technique known as \"soumak\". You can see the border cartouches, the floral field motifs as well as the wide outer guard border and the inner borders are all woven with this method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTop tip:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Afghan Kilim rug is a tightly woven rug of superlative quality, it is however, a lightweight rug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen using a lightweight rug in your home, consider using it in-conjunction with a rug underlay.
