{"product_id":"narrow-afghan-kilim-strip","title":"Narrow Afghan Kilim Strip","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis narrow Afghan Kilim strip is a cute miniature runner rug. It shows a multicolour theme with light greens and orangey-rust colours (along with many other shades). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt displays a typical geometric Kilim pattern with five medallions running the length of the rug. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThis Narrow Afghan Kilim Strip is a useful size\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Afghan Kilim is like a miniature runner. It has an extra narrow width, it measures 141x42cm or approximately 4'7x1'5. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou could position this narrow small Afghan runner in a corridor or on a landing. The size would also work perfectly beside a bed as a bedside runner. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere ever you decide to put it, you can rest assured that it will be durable enough to use in your home. It is made entirely from wool, so it will be perfectly hard wearing for normal domestic use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo hold it firmly in place, consider putting it on an anti-slip rug underlay. This serves a dual purpose of preventing it from moving as well as stopping any slips or trips. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow was it made?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis narrow Kilim strip was handmade. Kilims are made by hand-weaving. These are rugs without pile, sometimes known as flat weaves. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs mentioned previously, it was made from just wool. So it has wool warp threads and wool weft threads. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the woollen weft threads that you can see as the colours and design of the rug. These are handwoven in blocks of colour. Each block of colour is woven onto warp threads. When the colour choice changes, the new colour is started on the next warp thread. This leaves a tiny gap in the weave. This type of Kilim weaving is known as \"slit weaving\". \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHandy to know:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA helpful byproduct of the weaving method used in making this Afghan Kilim strip is that you can use it either way up. This is because it is exactly the same on each side. \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\u003e141×42cm \/ 4’7″x1’5″\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":58081463468363,"sku":"TORM-1298-NARROW AFGHAN KILIM STRIP-141 X 42CM","price":89.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1070\/3113\/4539\/files\/VD-kilim-1.41x0.42m-MAIN.jpg?v=1786282486","url":"https:\/\/theorientalrugmerchant.co.uk\/products\/narrow-afghan-kilim-strip","provider":"The Oriental Rug Merchant Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
