Kilim weaving

Kilim weaving is a traditional textile art where artisans create flat-woven carpets or fabrics, often from wool, by interlacing the warp (vertical threads) and weft (horizontal threads) tightly together on a loom. The designs are typically geometric and symbolic, using vivid colors and intricate patterns. Kilims are valued for their durability and artistic expression and are made through a meticulous process that involves carefully planning the design and skillfully executing the weaving. Originating from regions like the Middle East, Anatolia, and Central Asia, kilims serve both functional and decorative purposes, reflecting cultural heritage and craftsmanship.
