All of our Afghan kelims have been chosen for their beautiful vibrant colours whilst being very practical in the home. They are all made from 100% vegetable dyed wool and have the added benefit of being fully reversible. The term kelim is used to describe these stunning flatweave rugs where the wool is wrapped around the warps as opposed to being knotted onto the warps. These originating in Afghanistan are woven in very traditional designs that are passed down through the generations of the weavers.
We would recommend using underlay under our Kelim rugs.

Konya sits in the south of Central Anatolia, on a high, flat plain ringed by mountains.
Traditionally both the pile and the foundations (warps and wefts) are wool and they boast an earthy palatte usually reds, browns ivory and soft yellows and oranges. They are woven with geometric designs which include medallions, diamonds and stars.
They were made by villagers and nomads for their own use, before tourist demand reshaped any of the patterns. The colour palette comes from what grew locally — pomegranate skin, walnut hull, oak gall.
