Sometimes Kilims are referred to as flat weaves. Our Afghan Kilim rugs are surprisingly durable, and an additional benefit is that they are reversible because they are the same on both sides. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHandwoven\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Afghan short Kilim runner is handmade and made entirely from wool. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Kilim Rug consists of warp threads and weft threads. The warps are the first yarns secured onto the loom and run the length of the rug. The wefts make the pattern and colours of the rug. The weaver intertwines weft threads in blocks of colour which determines the pattern of the rug. On this type of Kilim, where two colours meet, there is a small gap in the weave. This is known as \"slit weaving\" and is the most frequently used Kilim making method. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDid you know?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Afghan Kilims are one-of-a-kind rugs. Each one is unique. Whilst you might find one of a similar pattern and colour, you will never find exactly the same Kilim again. \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\u003e 206×68cm \/ 6’9″x2’3″\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThickness: 4mm\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","brand":"The Oriental Rug Merchant Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58081495417163,"sku":"TORM-1222-HANDWOVEN SHORT KILIM RUNNER-206 X 68CM","price":149.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1070\/3113\/4539\/files\/VD-blue-2.06x0.68m-MAIN.jpg?v=1786282747","url":"https:\/\/theorientalrugmerchant.co.uk\/products\/handwoven-short-kilim-runner","provider":"The Oriental Rug Merchant Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
