Flatweaving is a textile technique that creates a flat, durable fabric without the use of knots or pile. This method involves interlacing threads, typically made from wool, cotton, or synthetic fibers, to form patterns and designs. Common types of flatweaves include kilims and dhurries, which are often used for rugs and wall hangings. The process of flatweaving can be done on a loom, where the weaver carefully arranges the warp and weft threads. This technique allows for vibrant colors and intricate patterns, making flatwoven textiles popular in various cultures around the world, especially in Middle Eastern and Central Asian traditions.
