ITS QUALITY

In addition to the complexity of the design, it is determined by the natural dyes. Natural pigments are achieved with a large number of plants, flowers, seeds and roots, as well as other factors that determine the tone such as the water temperature and the steeping time of the cotton/wool which is a process that can take up to several days.

ITS MATERIAL

In material terms, not much is really needed. A loom, a comb pressure and a knife or scissors are the basic tools plus the wool/cotton as the primary material. Sometimes it is mixed with other yarns like silk, silver threads or according to the weaver´s imagination, small decorative embellishments like sequins can be sewn to it...

INTERESTING

Kilims have their origins in the fabric of Asian nomadic tribes. They used to waterproof their tent´s flooring since being flat and compact prevented the passage of the desert sand. Then this manufacturing technique was extended to everyday items like bags, knapsacks, blankets ... that required a wear-resistant material.
