Red Burgundy Herringbone Striped Handwoven Kilim
MADE TO ORDER
Handwoven with premium materials and hand-spun wool, this kilim in herringbone design can be made in your size and colour combo.
The use of hand-spun wool which gives it shades of burgundy red with alternating cream tones instead of solid block colours. The hand-spun wool gives the kilim rug more variety in colour and creates extra depth.
Its design and look is contemporary with alternating blocks of burgundy red and creamy white.
Flatweave
This is a kilim rug or flat woven rug. This means it does not have a pile of wool on one side and as such it is much lighter than a pile rug.
Kilims are made by interweaving the warp and weft strands in a flat texture. This makes them reversible and so they can be laid out from both the front and back side.
Size and shape
This herringbone kilim rug can be made in your required size and colour combo.
If you are in doubt about what size you ideally need, please find here some guidelines to help you make the right decision.
Materials and texture
It is handmade with 100% hand-spun wool. It has a soft feel to it with a flexible handle yet is durable and hardwearing.
Handwoven rugs
This made to measure kilim rug is handwoven.
Typical for handmade rugs is that they do not necessarily have perfect symmetrical designs. They have imperfections in design and this is also part of the charm of handwoven rugs and what makes every rug unique.
In this case the rug is handwoven with a simple herringbone design with a symmetrical look and feel to it yet every block varies slightly in size and shape and comes in slightly different colour shades.
Underlay
This kilim rug has a good weight to it, is not too thin or too floppy, however depending on the underfloor you may wish to add an underlay.
“Underlay makes SUCH a difference not only in keeping the rug in place but also in making it feel much nicer to walk on.”
Maintaining and caring for your kilim
This herringbone Turkish kilim is hardwearing and durable. It is relatively low maintenance and only requires and occasional vacuum clean.
It is best to vacuum it on a lower setting and make sure you also do the reverse now and then as just as much dust accumulates there, as on the front.
Furthermore, it is sensible to give your rug a good shake outside every couple of months.
Stain treatment
The quicker you deal with spills, the less chance there is of it staining.
The effective way to treat a spill, for example red wine, is to apply water to begin with to dilute the stain, followed by mopping it with a kitchen towel straight away.
Start from the outside of the stain and work inwards to limit the affected area, but do not rub the stain as this can damage the yarn. Once a carpet gets wet, it is important to dry it out thoroughly afterwards, to prevent the wool from rotting.
Don’t use any bleach or chemical treatments as they might take the stain out, but leave a white stain instead.
When in doubt, professional carpet cleaning will always remain the best choice. If you need advice on this, pleased get in touch.
