🧵 How It’s Made
This kilim rug is crafted using the flatweave or "kilim" technique—a meticulous interweaving of dyed wool threads without a pile. This makes it thinner, lighter, and reversible. The creation of this piece took roughly 5–6 weeks, using age-old weaving looms where each motif is manually mapped using oral tradition or hand-sketched diagrams passed through generations.

🌀 Design Story – The Naqsha (Pattern)
The dual central medallions represent duality and balance, surrounded by diamond-shaped protection symbols and stylized floral borders. The scattered triangles symbolize tents and mountains—a reflection of nomadic lifestyle. Such motifs are not merely decorative; they are symbolic languages preserved in thread.

💬 Why You'll Love This Rug
Perfect for a hallway, under a console, or even as a decorative wall hanging—this piece is versatile, breathable, and lightweight. Unlike machine-made rugs, the imperfections in this rug celebrate the soul of handwork and the creativity of the weaver.
