Kilim by Mischioff – antique or modern
A woven kilim is a popular and decorative alternative to a knotted rug. In a kilim rug , hand-spun wool is woven by hand on a loom into a thin, flat weave.
This results in a much flatter, thinner and more flexible carpet structure .
Among many nomadic peoples, it is still common practice to hang and line tents and yurts with kilims. They serve as insulation against the cold, as decorative wall coverings , as floor coverings, and are even used as blankets. Kilim rugs also look fantastic in modern interiors, creating a cozy atmosphere . A wide variety of styles and patterns are available.

Kilim carpets as a traditional craft
The weaving of kilims has a centuries-old tradition – this art of carpet weaving has been and passed down through generations the warp and the weft , which are interwoven at right angles. The tensioned warp threads form the base into which the weavers pull the weft threads from one selvedge to the other, interlacing them. This creates a firm and textured pile that is very robust and durable, yet also very flexible.
With a pile height of just a few millimeters, a handwoven rug lies very flat. Compared to Weaving , this method is significantly faster; handwoven rugs take about half the time as hand-knotted rugs , silk or other natural fibers are also woven into the kilim.
