With it's neutral colour scheme, this Afghan Natural Dye Kilim runner could be your solution!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Afghan Kilim runner rug is a great option as it's main colours are beige and soft browns; it contains added interest with a few motifs in navy blue and turquoise, not forgetting the single orange motif. The design is also traditional which will add a touch mystery to your hallway. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere can I use this Afghan Natural Dye Kilim Runner?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Afghan Kilim runner was made to be used on the floor. It was woven by hand and from just wool. Wool is widely known for it's durability and is naturally stain resistant. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe measurements of this Kilim runner are 289x81cm or approximately 9'6x2'8. The size and shape of this runner makes it an ideal choice for use in hallways, corridors and on landings. Alternative spaces to consider positioning it are: in kitchens or in bedrooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow was this Kilim runner made?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Kilim is a flat woven rug - so this Afghan runner was handwoven. As mentioned earlier, it was made from just wool: wool warps and wool wefts. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe warp threads are the foundations of the runner. The wefts are the threads that are woven between the warps. These are woven in blocks of colour. If you look closely at the images of the runner, you might be able to make out a very small vertical gap or slit where two different colours meet. This is because these colour sections do not share the same warp thread. This weaving system is known by the term \"slit weave\" and is probably the most widely used method of weaving. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis weaving technique is far quicker than hand-knotting methods, so as a consequence, the price-point is much more moderate. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThis Kilim Runner is reversible too...\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA handy byproduct of flat weave\/slit weave rugs or runners is that the pattern is the same on each side. So you can use it either way up!\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: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e289x81cm \/ 9'6\"x2'8\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThickness: 5mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWarp: Wool\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeft: Wool\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAge: New\u003c\/span\u003e\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":58081480769867,"sku":"TORM-1268-AFGHAN NATURAL DYE KILIM RUNNER-289 X 81CM","price":225.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1070\/3113\/4539\/files\/VD-kilim-2.89x0.81m-MAIN.jpg?v=1786282582","url":"https:\/\/theorientalrugmerchant.co.uk\/products\/afghan-natural-dye-kilim-runner","provider":"The Oriental Rug Merchant Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
