What is a Machine-Woven Kilim? How is it Made?
The word "kilim" resonates with anyone familiar with rugs. Known for being thinner and lighter than traditional rugs while still providing warmth and style, kilims have embraced technological advancements. Produced by interweaving vertical "warp" threads with horizontal "weft" threads, these lightweight kilims are now crafted using industrial machine looms. This modern production method yields kilims that are not only more affordable but also available in standard sizes, giving customers a wider range of choices.
Materials Used in Machine-Woven Kilims
Machine-woven kilims are typically made from synthetic yarns, which enhance durability and resilience. However, for those who prioritize natural materials, there are also machine-woven kilims made entirely of cotton. While synthetic fibers offer longevity and resistance to wear, cotton kilims are recommended for their natural feel and eco-friendly properties.
How to Clean Machine-Woven Kilims
Proper maintenance is essential to preserve the beauty and functionality of your kilim. Here are cleaning tips for machine-woven kilims:
- Check Washing Instructions: Verify whether your kilim is machine washable. If not, consider professional cleaning services.
- Daily Cleaning: Use a vacuum cleaner with a flat, brushless attachment to clean in one direction. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Stain Removal: For stains, flip the kilim and pour warm water onto the back of the stained area. Then, clean the stain using a soft cloth and mild soapy water, followed by thorough rinsing.
Pricing of Machine-Woven Kilims
Machine-woven kilims are significantly more affordable than their handwoven counterparts. Prices generally range from 100 TL to 300 TL per square meter, making them an excellent option for budget-conscious buyers. Additionally, be sure to explore discounted options or discontinued collections, where you may find the perfect kilim at a fraction of the cost. Enjoy the satisfaction of decorating your space without straining your budget!
