Turkish Kilim Cushion Covers are the best possible way to deck up your home in a eye catching, vibrant and distinctive flavor. Kilims are flat woven tapestry rugs. They are much lighter than normal rugs and carpets. This is the reason why kilims, in addition to being great floor coverings, also look cool as cushion, pillow, sofa covers, wall hangings and the like.
Turkish nomads of medieval times started producing of kilims and rugs. They can be differentiated by their method of production, designs, symbolization, cultural and regional patterns and materials used. They use the double-knot also known as Turkish Rugs Knot. Each knot is secured on two warps. It makes the pile thread tightly wrapped around two warps that create a stronger and more intricate creation. Wool is the most preferred material but the use of cotton and silk are gradually on the rise. They are traditionally hand woven only but now they are both hand woven and machine made. No matter what the type, there is no let off on quality. The types of weaving techniques are:
• Wool on wool: Warp, weft and pile everything is made of wool. Woolen pile on wool warp and weft is the most traditional form of weave.
• Wool on cotton: Here the pile is woolen and warp and weft are made of cotton. The designs here are more intricate than wool on wool weave.
• Silk on silk: Silk pile on silk warp and weft makes the most intricate patterns and designs.
