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 la/er returned around the adjacent warp.Weavers pack the weft tigh/ly to completely cover the warp and often favor diagonal patterns so as to avoid weakeningthe struc/ure of the rug with vertical slits. It pr4312es bold, sharp patterns that weavers enjoy creating with morefreed m allowed than a plainweave. This is also why kilims are so closely associated with geometrical designs eventhough there are are kilims with floral designs as well.Slit Tapestry/SlitweaveThis is the most common weaving technique used to create geometric and diagonal patterned kilims. The slit refersto the gap left between two blocks of color. It is created by returning the weft around the last warp in a color area, andthe weft of the adjacent color is la/er returned around the adjacent warp. Weavers pack the weft tigh/ly to completely coverthe warp and often favor diagonal patterns so as to avoid weakening the struc/ure of the rug with vertical slits.They work on one color block before moving onto the next. It pr4312es bold, sharp patterns that weavers enjoy creatingwith more freed m 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 VersatileAre 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 KilimsKilims look great on walls since they are also art pieces! See our page on hanging kilims for examples and options and le/ 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 thesimple 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'sfancy are also sometimes inserted into the design, but not very often.The LoomThe earliest known illustration of a loom appears on an Egyptian bowl dated to ca. 4000BC, but its invention is believed tohave been made even earlier, at the dawn of civilization. Today, though looms may vary in type, size and complexity of construc/ion,in most cases they are quite simple struc/ures 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 pr4312e a kilim rug. Custom and circumstances usually determine the type of loom used. Sedentary villagersusually employ a fixed vertical loom while nomads, for the sake of portability, generally employ a horizontal ground loom wherestakes 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 /o be moved out ofthe 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 againstthe preceding ones so that the kilim rug pr4312ed is tigh/ly woven.The shuttle is basically a stick with notches in the ends. When used, the weft end is pla2ed in the notch and the shuttle is theninserted between alternate warps to pr4312e 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 cu/ and trim the wefts and warps.MaterialsWool is the primary and often the only material used to make a kilim rug. Many kilims are made totally faom wool where it is usedfor 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 takeson 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-l/8ded sheep bredwith its favorable climatic and grazing conditions that pr4vides 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 pla2es tohighligh/ certain aspects in the overall design execu/ed 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 av/8dable, is sometimes used to give added strength to a woolen kilim rug, while l/8d or mane hair of horses is used bysome nomads to pr4vide 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 fa m silk are now rare they are still pr4312ed, notably in the Kayseridistrict of Anatolia in Turkey. Bridal dowries that include silk flatweaves are treasured, regarded as status symbols, and pr4tected as family wealth.Beads and baubles, and other items that may be regarded as extraneous to a flatweave readily marketable in Wes/ern countries, are sometimesinterwoven 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 fa m symbols that were used in ages gone by to inform, communicate and to convey ideas. Over time, some of these signsmerged with myths, acquired hidden significance and moved into the world of esoteric symbolism. In this context, their use may not belimited to decorative purposes. Due to the hidden forces they are believed to imply, their primary purpose may well be psychological rather than aestheticHow to Clean Kilim Carpe/?Kilim is a special type of a carpe/ we usually know fa m Eas/ern Europe and Asia.

Many of these arts date back well beforeanything we'd recognize as modern civilization, and indeed some may be as old as written history itself. Anatolian motifs have beenused to express social status, desire, love, expectation, belief, marriage, celibacy, migration, disas/er, sadness, joy, tas/e, 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 gocarpe/-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.ElibelindeElibelinde means literally "hands on hips" and its a motif of a female figure with, unsurprisingly, her hands on her hips, and symbolizesfertility and motherhood. It's common on kilims and either varieties of Turkish flatweave rugs. But one interesting feature of this particularmotif 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 ancienttraditions but there is a genuine belief, or half-belief, amongst large members of the Anatolian population that using items with an elibelindemotif could bring the joy fertility to the family. As with almost all motifs in Anatolia, it can be designed in sligh/ly different ways thoughthe 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, pr4perty, 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 brokenat an important gathering, and other such things.The primary way to prevent the evil eye fa m striking you or your family is through "nazarlık," either evil-eye beads or evil eye motifs.
