Handwoven Wool Kilim Rugs

Our wool kilim rugs are handwoven from 95% wool and 5% cotton using traditional flatweave techniques. Clean stripes, framed borders and modern grids in natural, earthy colors make them easy to style in modern, Scandinavian, farmhouse and boho interiors.

What Is a Wool Kilim Rug?

A kilim is a flat-woven rug with no pile. The design is woven directly into the structure of the rug, so it is thin, light and durable. Wool kilims have been woven in Anatolia for centuries and are valued for their natural texture and long life.

Are these wool kilim rugs really handmade?

Yes. Every rug in this collection is handwoven from 95% wool and 5% cotton. Because each piece is made by hand, small variations in color and weave are natural and make every rug unique.

What is a kilim rug?

A kilim is a flatweave rug: the pattern is created by interlacing the weft and warp threads, with no pile. This makes kilims thin, light and easy to move, and many designs can be used on both sides.

Can I machine wash a wool kilim rug?

No. Wool kilims are not machine washable. Vacuum regularly without a beater bar, blot spills right away with a damp cloth, and use a professional rug cleaner for deep cleaning. If you need a machine-washable option, see our washable kilim-style rugs.

What sizes are available?

Area rugs come in 4x6, 6x9, 8x10, 9x12, 10x14 and 12x15. Runners come in 2x8, 2x9, 2x12 and 2x14. Available sizes vary by design.

Are these kilims reversible?

Our flatweave designs Ljosa, Lumi, Perla, Cecilia, Dagros and Gyda are reversible. Aurora, Berga and Nott are chunky looped flatweaves with a raised texture; see each product page for details.
