This was handwoven in northern Afghanistan where they've honed the art of carpet and Kilim weaving over generations. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeople often ask if our Kilim rugs are made from cotton, but they are in fact woven from wool. Our Afghan Kilims are either made entirely from wool, or sometimes wool woven onto cotton. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFind out about how this green Kilim rug was made\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite its fresh and modern colour composition, this Afghan rug was handwoven with age-old weaving techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a Kilim rug the eye-catching colours and designs are woven from coloured weft threads made from wool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe weavers (there would have been two weavers making this Kilim) weave the pattern by threading coloured weft threads back and forth between the warp threads in sections of colour. The pattern is created by changing colours from one to another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn many Kilim rugs (like this one), you can see that where the colours change there is a small narrow vertical gap in the weave. This is known in the Oriental rug trade as \"slit-weaving\", and this is one of the most usual flat weaving techniques. It occurs because when the weaver changes colour, the next coloured thread is started from the neighbouring warp thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis way of flat-weaving allows for the creation of straight lines and diagonals, which typically translates into designs consisting of diamond and triangular motifs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLiving with this handwoven 3x2m Afghan rug\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe colours and design of this Kilim offers a clean and breezy look to compliment your room. Kilims are surprisingly durable and long lasting, and because they are handwoven from just wool they wear clean in use. This 3x2m size Kilim is a handy room sized rug, ideal for use in a living room or dining room setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA useful extra feature of the way in which this Kilim was woven is that you can use it either way up. It is reversible; the pattern is the same on both sides. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePartner this Kilim rug with a rug underlay\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're planning on using this rug on a hard floor or fitted carpet consider using an anti-slip rug underlay beneath it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom a safety point of view, this will stop you from slipping on it and, aesthetically it will look much smarter having it flat to the floor.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey details: \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of origin: Afghanistan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 295x200cm \/ 9'8\"x6'7\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness: 4mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeft: Wool, slit weave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarp: Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge: New\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Oriental Rug Merchant Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58081458422091,"sku":"TORM-1371-AFGHAN KILIM RUG WITH GREEN-295 X 200CM","price":595.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1070\/3113\/4539\/files\/VD-kilim-green-2.95x2.00m_MAIN.jpg?v=1786282364","url":"https:\/\/theorientalrugmerchant.co.uk\/products\/afghan-kilim-rug-with-green","provider":"The Oriental Rug Merchant Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
