Kilim Natural Dye

Kilim/Flatweave

Kilims are flat weave carpets and therefore do not have a pile like the rest of our collection. Crafted primarily on vertical looms, these rugs are woven using a warp-wrapping method. Known as sumeck kilims, the rugs are virtually reversible but there is a decided right side to these kilims. Their wool is naturally dyed using both hand-gathered natural dyes and more commercially farmed natural dyes like cochineal and indigo. They also spotlight the natural wool colors coming directly from the dhumba sheep.

• Knot count: n/a
• Colors in each rug: 3–8 colors
• Composition: 100% wool on a cotton or wool warp and weft.
• Type of knot: warp-wrapped kilim
• Production: A 9'x12' rug could be completed in 5–6 months by four to five experienced artisans working five to six hours a day.
