A kilim is a type of flat-woven rug or tapestry, traditionally made in regions such as Turkey, Iran, and Central Asia. Unlike pile rugs, kilims are created using a technique that interlaces the warp and weft threads, resulting in a lightweight and durable textile. They often feature vibrant colors and intricate geometric patterns, reflecting the cultural heritage of the weavers. Kilims serve various purposes, including floor coverings, wall hangings, and decorative items. They are often used in homes to add warmth and character. The designs can carry symbolic meanings, representing the history and beliefs of the communities that produce them.
