In different parts of the world they are known by different names. Sometimes you might encounter the spelling \"kelim\", or terms like: cicim, gelim, or dhurrie. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is this rug made from? And how was it made?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis modern Labijar Kilim rug was made from wool and cotton. The design and colours of the rug are made from wool: vegetable dyed and hand-spun yarn. Cotton forms the base foundation upon which the colours and design is woven. This rug therefore has cotton warp threads. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all of our rugs, this Kilim rug was handmade. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis rug was handwoven. To make it, the weaver interlaces colourful weft threads between the warp strings in blocks of colour which creates the pattern and colours of the rug. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use it on the floor?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of our Kilim rugs are meant for use on the floor.
