What is kilim is it as good as Rug? Yes ,kilim is the flat woven rugs ,it is the same as rugs ,kilim will give you a long-time service as well ,but the only deferent with rug is kilim doesn’t have any tick pile, it is sometimes double side or in some of them only one side, The difference between a kilim area rug and a carpet or a pile rug is that whereas the design visible on the kilim is made by interweaving the variously co lured wefts and warps, thus creating what is known as a flat weave, in a pile rug individual short strands of different colour, usually of wool, are knotted onto the warps and held together by pressing the wefts tightly against each other. In this case the whole design is made by these separately knotted strands which form the pile, and the patterns become clearly visible after any excessive lengths of the knotted materials are shorn off to create a level surface. Still no one knows since when kilims started but we know that goes to a long time ago.
