What is a Kilim?


Kilim, a word of Turkish origin, denotes a pileless textile of many uses produced by one of several flatweaving techniques
that have a common or closely related heritage and are practiced in the geographical area that includes parts of Turkey
(Anatolia and Thrace), North Africa, the Balkans, the Caucasus, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Central Asia and China.


Although at times you may find kilim rugs included in the general genre of "oriental rugs", in more accepted practice,
kilims are in a class of their own.

The major difference between a kilim area rug and a carpet or a pile rug is that whereas the design visible on a pile rug
is made by individual short strands of different color being knotted onto the warps and held together by pressing the wefts
tightly, kilim designs are made by interweaving the variously colored wefts and warps, thus creating what is known as a flatweave.

Kilims are generally woven with the slitweave technique. The slit refers to the gap left between two blocks of color.
It is created by returning the weft around the last warp in a color area, and the weft of the adjacent color is later returned around the adjacent warp.

Weavers pack the weft tightly to completely cover the warp and often favor diagonal patterns so as to avoid weakening
the structure of the rug with vertical slits. It produces bold, sharp patterns that weavers enjoy creating with more
freedom allowed than a plainweave. This is also why kilims are so closely associated with geometrical designs even
though there are are kilims with floral designs as well.

Slit Tapestry/Slitweave


This is the most common weaving technique used to create geometric and diagonal patterned kilims. The slit refers
to the gap left between two blocks of color. It is created by returning the weft around the last warp in a color area, and
the weft of the adjacent color is later returned around the adjacent warp. Weavers pack the weft tightly to completely cover
the warp and often favor diagonal patterns so as to avoid weakening the structure of the rug with vertical slits.
They work on one color block before moving onto the next. It produces bold, sharp patterns that weavers enjoy creating
with more freedom allowed than a plainweave. It also results in a smooth kilim that is reversible with the same pattern on both sides in most cases.

Kilims are Versatile


Are kilim rugs just floor coverings? No, some are hangings, some are bench or divan coverings, bags or mule saddles.
They are very popular as colorful kilim pillows, as well.

Hanging Kilims
Kilims look great on walls since they are also art pieces! See our page on hanging kilims for examples and options and let us know if you need help.

What does it take to make a kilim?
In material terms, not very much really. A loom, a beating comb, a shuttle (optional) and a knife or scissors are the
simple tools needed and wool is the primary material. Cotton, silk and animal hair (goat, camel, or horse) are also sometimes used,
mostly in conjunction with wool. Gold or silver thread, beads, and other small decorative baubles that strike the weaver's
fancy are also sometimes inserted into the design, but not very often.

The Loom
The earliest known illustration of a loom appears on an Egyptian bowl dated to ca. 4000BC, but its invention is believed to
have been made even earlier, at the dawn of civilization. Today, though looms may vary in type, size and complexity of construction,
in most cases they are quite simple structures of wood with, perhaps, a few metal parts.

The function of the loom is to hold the longitudinal strands (known as warps) under tension so that the horizontal strands (called wefts)
can be woven between the warps to produce a kilim rug. Custom and circumstances usually determine the type of loom used. Sedentary villagers
usually employ a fixed vertical loom while nomads, for the sake of portability, generally employ a horizontal ground loom where
stakes driven into the ground hold the loom in position.

Adjustable looms with a fixed width but with a mechanism permitting the completed horizontal kilim section to be moved out of
the way of the weaver are usually found in more sophisticated contemporary kilim workshops.

A beating comb is usually just a larger and cruder version of the familiar hair comb; it is usually made of wood, metal, bone,
horn, or some combination of these materials. Its function is to compress, i.e. "beat down", succeeding lines of wefts against
the preceding ones so that the kilim rug produced is tightly woven.

The shuttle is basically a stick with notches in the ends. When used, the weft end is placed in the notch and the shuttle is then
inserted between alternate warps to produce a weave, but weavers often prefer to dispense with the shuttle and pass the weft between the warps by hand.

A knife or scissors are used to cut and trim the wefts and warps.



Materials
Wool is the primary and often the only material used to make a kilim rug. Many kilims are made totally from wool where it is used
for both warps and wefts, and wool is the primary weft material used with cotton warps, which accounts for the great majority of all kilims.

This popularity of wool is due to its inherent qualities. It is supple, durable, handles easily when spun or woven, readily takes
on dyes and, most important, is in plentiful supply in kilim-making regions. There are certain breeds of sheep, like the merino,
whose fleece is especially sought-after for its special luster and length of fiber, but actually it's the domestic fat-tailed sheep bred
with its favorable climatic and grazing conditions that provides much of the excellent fleece used in kilims.

Cotton is commonly used for warps because of its high strength and plentiful supply. Also, because it keeps its shape well in use,
retains its natural whiteness with age, and because it can be spun into fine, thin strands, it is commonly interwoven in places to
highlight certain aspects in the overall design executed mainly with wool.

Animal hair - goat, camel or horse - is used sparely in kilim-making, but to good effect. Very strong and durable camel hair,
where available, is sometimes used to give added strength to a woolen kilim rug, while tail or mane hair of horses is used by
some nomads to provide decorative fringes or tassels. Goat hair was commonly used to weave nomadic tent and floor covers for its strength.
Whereas goat hair is rougher that wool, angora goat hair, "mohair", is much softer and gives a silky sheen when mixed with wool.
Mohair is also used to make the lustrous "filikli tulu" with its shining locks of hair.

Silk was and remains a luxurious material, and though flatweaves made from silk are now rare they are still produced, notably in the Kayseri
district of Anatolia in Turkey. Bridal dowries that include silk flatweaves are treasured, regarded as status symbols, and protected as family wealth.

Beads and baubles, and other items that may be regarded as extraneous to a flatweave readily marketable in Western countries, are sometimes
interwoven into a kilim design by some tribal kilim-makers and, due to their very authenticity, such kilims have a certain ethnic appeal.

Motifs are derived from symbols that were used in ages gone by to inform, communicate and to convey ideas. Over time, some of these signs
merged with myths, acquired hidden significance and moved into the world of esoteric symbolism. In this context, their use may not be
limited to decorative purposes. Due to the hidden forces they are believed to imply, their primary purpose may well be psychological rather than aesthetic


How to Clean Kilim Carpet?

Kilim is a special type of a carpet we usually know from Eastern Europe and Asia. It is known as a hand-made decorative rug with a
beautiful look and amazing warm surface. In most cases, a kilim carpet is made of natural materials and fibers. This makes it even more
beautiful, but also more difficult to be maintained.
The thing is that many of you common carpet cleaning actions should be avoided, permanently excluded or reduced to a minimum.
Meanwhile, it is essential for you to get to know the basics in taking care of kilim carpet. This is our topic today!

Kilim carpet basics in cleaning and maintenance

Kilim carpet is a wonderful addition to an interior design. But to keep it fresh and bright, you need to follow some instructions.
Here are what you need to know about kilim carpet cleaning:

Do not vacuum the fringes of the kilim carpet. They will tear or waste quite fast.
Avoid turning the vacuum cleaner on the highest power rate. Fit in the medium rate and make sure you clean it thoroughly,
but not often enough. This is how you are going to protect it intact and shiny for longer.
Avoid using too numerous liquids and water for the washing. There are better alternatives for you – steam machines or commercial dry solutions.
Use professional cleaning services once in a while. Even though not always cleaned by carpet cleaners, kilim carpet will
be maintained in a decent condition for a longer time.
Avoid all-purpose cleaners in liquid condition. In most cases they contain bleach that is not very suitable for the kilim carpet.
What to do, when I have to clean a stain out of a kilim carpet?

It is not on mandatory to go to your local expert cleaning company. There are ways you can deal with the situation, too –
without risking your kilim carpet. Here is what you can use to clean out a stain of a kilim carpet:

Baking soda is always ok for pre-treating a kilim carpet stain – whatever it is. Just make sure you use it with a decent
vacuuming procedure later.
Also, consider applying white vinegar in all cases you have mud, grease or any organic stains. White vinegar has extra
strong disinfection qualities. It is also a good stain remover and makes the colors look brighter and shinier!
When removing a stain, try to blot, but not to scrub. If there are any visible excesses of the stain, try to scrape them off with a knife.
It should be a sharp knife, but be careful not to tear the tiny and delicate fibers.
Kilim carpet is a fantastic addition to your home interior. Have it with pleasure, but make sure you take care of it properly and regularly!


The 5 Most Common Anatolian Motifs And Their Meanings

Anatolia is home to some of the most ancient artistic traditions of anywhere in the world. Many of these arts date back well before
anything we'd recognize as modern civilization, and indeed some may be as old as written history itself. Anatolian motifs have been
used to express social status, desire, love, expectation, belief, marriage, celibacy, migration, disaster, sadness, joy, taste, happiness,
longing, separation, wishes and so much more.

But, as with all artwork, a few motifs have become particularly popular for the way they mix beautiful imagery with meaning. When you go
carpet-shopping in Turkey, or simply enjoy looking at local vases, or just about anything else, be sure to keep an eye out for these 5 motifs.

Elibelinde

Elibelinde means literally "hands on hips" and its a motif of a female figure with, unsurprisingly, her hands on her hips, and symbolizes
fertility and motherhood. It's common on kilims and either varieties of Turkish flatweave rugs. But one interesting feature of this particular
motif is that it's perhaps most common on more run-of-the-mill items of regular use. You'll see elibelinde, for instance, on farmhouse sacks
(called çuvals) or in other oft-used woven things due to its symbolism of fertility and motherhood. These symbols are not simply ancient
traditions but there is a genuine belief, or half-belief, amongst large members of the Anatolian population that using items with an elibelinde
motif could bring the joy fertility to the family. As with almost all motifs in Anatolia, it can be designed in slightly different ways though
the essential design is always the same.

Muska and Nazarlık

"Nazar" is an important notion in Anatolia, the idea of the evil-eye. A few things are particularly at risk of "nazar" (or unspecified evil) happening to them.
Vulnerable, and valuable people (particularly babies) are at risk, pets, important objects in the home, property, or other inanimate objects,
or really in general any somewhat unfortunate thing happening. A baby getting sick at an inopportune moment, glasses/food plates being broken
at an important gathering, and other such things.

The primary way to prevent the evil eye from striking you or your family is through "nazarlık," either evil-eye beads or evil eye motifs.

Muska has the same essential purpose of warding off evil. the designs aren't identical, though even the triangular shape of the muska is
reminiscent of the eye-shaped nazar. Indeed, muska are simply a stylized form of typical nazar motifs. When these images are woven into
kilims or other flatwoven products in Anatolia it's believed that they will help protect the family from evil. Of course, the fact that
each design is striking and beautiful is just an added bonus!

Abundance


Abundance in all senses is a common need, particularly in rural Anatolia. Abundance and happiness are considered to go hand in hand,
and as a result fruit and animal motifs are both seen to promote abundance and happiness. Similarly, trees, flowers, soil and leaves
are seen to symbolize the same essential properties. In fact, beyond just trees, natural formations like rocks, water, mountains and
other natural formations again are often seen to reflect abundance.

Koçboynuzu (Ram's Horn)

If Elibelinde is more of a female symbol, ram's horns are certainly more male. They symbolize traditionally masculine traits,
like heroism and strength, though they share traits like abundance with many other traditional Anatolian motifs. In Turkey,
you'll find the ram's horn motif on kilims and rugs, but also they're quite common on traditional tomb stones that you'll find all over.
Sculptures are very common as well, with various fabrics and clothing bearing traces of this traditional motif as well.


Hayat Ağacı (Tree of Life)

The tree of life is of course a worldwide symbol of life rising up to heaven. It symbolizes the universe as it lives in constant change.
The soil, the roots, the lower brances, the trunk as it rises up to the sky, and the light shining on the upper branches all combine to
form a symbol that encompasses both Earth and heaven.

In Turkey, cypress trees are possibly the most common tree used though anything from fig trees to palm trees can be used.
The motif is used in stone masonry, wood-working, pottery, tile work, weaving, glass blowing, miniatures,
literature and music and can be stylized in many different ways.

THE BENEFITS OF 100% WOOL RUGS

Wool is very resilient and its texture allows it to quickly recover from crushing or indenting caused by footsteps or furniture.
This natural resilience also keeps the rug looking new and fresh for longer periods of time.

Wool has a natural ability to resist staining and soiling. In fact it has more than a 30% higher rate of stain resistance than even the best synthetic fibers.
It's so good at resisting stains because of the natural light lanolin that coats the surface of the wool.
This coating helps stop dirt and stains from actually penetrating the wool leaving any soiling on or near the surface.
That's why spills on wool is very easy to clean.

Wool is also very durable and will last for many years without showing signs of wear.
While wool rugs cost slightly more than synthetic rugs, because of its exceptional long life it can be a better choice
than other types of rugs because you will quickly recoup the extra cost in the additional years of wear.
Sheep produce wool to protect themselves from a variety of climates and natural elements.
Of course when man uses wool these natural capabilities remain intact.
Natural wool actually has two different types of wool cells – the orthcortex and the paracortex.

Natural wool actually has two different types of wool cells – the orthcortex and the paracortex.

Each lies on the opposite side of the fiber and grow at different rates. This causes a coil spring that makes the wool very elastic.
The natural shock absorber allows the wool to quickly spring back to its original form. In fact wool fiber can be stretched more
than 35% and still easily return back to its natural shape. This protective barrier also stops water from easily penetrating the wool
fiber making wool water resistant. But more than being water resistant wool is able to absorb about 1/3 of its weight in moisture
and yet still not feel damp. This natural quality of wool allows it to remain warm and recover from pressure points quickly.

Wool rugs are available in a wide selection of styles, patterns, and designs. Because of the process used to dye wool rugs
the colors are fade resistant and unless they are exposed to direct sunlight on a continuous basis you should experience very little fading.

Wool has the ability to provide a long lasting functional product that exhibits outstanding beauty. There are a variety of patterns
and styles available in wool rugs and these days old world craftsmanship is being combined with new world technologies buy to produce outstanding results.
A wool rug will provide you with years of enjoyment and durability.
