This handwoven Afghan neutral Kilim with teal accents is a great option. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis large size Afghan Kilim rug shows off a traditional, on trend, Kilim pattern in neutral tones of beige, brown and grey, along with a contrast of teal which adds some oomph and uplift. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat this Neutral Kilim with teal accents is made from\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Kilim is a flat-woven rug without any pile. Kilims rugs are a great way to add some texture to your floor as well as visual interest. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 10x8 Afghan Kilim rug was handmade from only wool. A Kilim rug consists of two types of thread: the warp thread and the weft thread. Each plays a vital role in how the rug is made. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow this large Afghan Kilim rug was made \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis large flat weave rug was handmade. The first yarns to be secured on the the loom before the weaving can start are the warp threads. These long threads run from each end of the loom, i.e. the entire length of the rug. Later on, they also serve as the rug's fringes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is by weaving weft threads of different colours that the weaver creates the patterns of a Kilim rug. The weaver intertwines the coloured woollen weft threads between the warps in blocks or sections of colour. By changing colours the weaver makes the pattern of the rug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you study the Kilim closely, you will see where colours meet, there is a small gap or vertical slit in the weave. This occurs when the weaver is finished with one colour the next colour is started from the adjacent warp thread. The technical term for this in the Oriental rug world is \"slit weaving\". It is probably the most widely used Kilim making method. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing this 10x8 Afghan Kilim rug in your home\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough Kilim rugs are relatively thin rugs due to the nature of the way they are made, they are deceptively hard wearing. This room sized Kilim rug was made for use on the floor, and furthermore, it was handcrafted with hardy Afghan wool. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can keep it looking at it's best by partnering it with an anti-slip rug underlay. Not only will this make it look smart by keeping it nice and flat, it will also prevent you from slipping on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA bonus feature...\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA not so obvious extra feature of this Kilim rug is that it is reversible. A handy upside of the slit-weaving Kilim technique is that it is exactly the same on each side. You can literally flip it over and enjoy the other side too. \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: 292×255cm \/ 9’7″x8’4″ \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness: 3mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarp: Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeft: Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge: New\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":58081494106443,"sku":"TORM-1232-NEUTRAL KILIM WITH TEAL ACCENTS-292 X 255CM","price":699.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1070\/3113\/4539\/files\/Maimana-2.92x2.55m_MAIN.jpg?v=1786282687","url":"https:\/\/theorientalrugmerchant.co.uk\/products\/neutral-kilim-with-teal-accents","provider":"The Oriental Rug Merchant Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
