How was this Multicolour Long Kilim runner made?

This long Afghan Kilim runner rug was handmade. A Kilim is a flat woven rug. It was woven entirely from wool. Wool warps and wool wefts.

This Kilim runner has an intricate handwoven interlocking weave. The colours and design is created by weaving coloured weft threads in blocks of colour between the warp threads. The interlocking weave is where two colours meet they share the same warp. There is, thus, no gap in the weave and makes for a sturdy weave.

This long Kilim runner has beautiful fringe embellishments: the fringes are bunched and wrapped with colourful yarn.

One-of-a-kind 

Amazing, but true: each of our Afghan Kilims is a one-of-a-kind rug. Such is the nature of these flat weaves, you will never find another one with exactly the same colours and design.

Frequently asked questions about Runners

Oriental runners are renowned for their longevity and can often last for generations.

I’d like to buy it, is the runner shown the runner I’ll get?

Yes, all of our runners are handmade and the vast majority are one-of-a-kind. This is the exact runner you will receive. No substitutions.

I’m interested in this runner, but would like to see it before I decide – can I come and see it at your shop?

Of course! All of the runners displayed and shown as in stock on our website are available to view and buy in-store.

Please contact us, referencing which runner you would like to buy and your delivery address to find out shipping costs.

How long will my runner last?

Hand-knotted Runners and Handwoven Runners are extremely long-lasting items. If properly looked after Oriental Rugs and runners can outlive their owner and maybe even last for generations. In many cases rugs improve with age.

Will the colours of my runner fade?

Handmade Oriental rugs and runners will soften in colour over time. Of course, like any textile, if the runner is used in an area of strong sunlight, such as in a Conservatory for instance, the fading process will be more rapid. During days of strong sunshine, it is good practice to draw the curtains or blinds to keep your Oriental rug looking at its best.

Will the colours transfer onto the flooring underneath?

This is a tricky one to answer! If only we had a crystal ball! There is a risk. Our rugs are all handmade and made with artisan dyes. All of our rugs are thoroughly washed prior to export and any excess dye should come out in the washing process. However, on the odd occasion, the dye can still sometimes transfer. This phenomenon is increased by humidity and temperature, and is regrettably irreversible. If you are concerned about this possibility, perhaps consider using an Underlay to put a barrier between the rug and the flooring/fitted carpet underneath.

How do I care for my Runner

They are easy to care for, but here’s a few helpful pointers to keep your new Afghan rug looking great: 

Vacuum

Hoover it regularly – perhaps once a week. This is good practice as tiny dirt particles can cause premature wear. Vacuum it with just the nozzle suction, as rotating brushes can be abrasive. Try to keep the vacuum cleaner away from the fringes as this is probably the weakest point on an Oriental rug; fringes and vacuum cleaners don’t mix!

Rotate

It is a good idea to rotate your Afghan rug on occasion. This will help prevent areas of concentrated wear. Foot shuffling when watching the TV is a prime culprit! Rotating your rug will also help to even-out any incremental changes in colour from exposure to sunlight.

Blot

Any spills should be blotted immediately: blot with kitchen towel or clean un-dyed absorbent cloth; avoid rubbing or scrubbing which can spread the spill or push the spill deeper into the rug.

Use a Rug Underlay

A good rug underlay will keep the rug in place, thereby preventing uneven wear and will help the rug keep from going out of shape.

Professional Cleaning

This is something that is required infrequently, perhaps every 3-5 years depending on use. Please contact us if you would like to have your rug cleaned as we offer a Rug Cleaning Service.
