Kilim, a word of Turkish origin, denotes a pileless rug of many uses produced by one of several flat weaving techniques that have a common or closely related heritage and are practiced in the geographical area that includes parts of Turkey (Anatolia and Thrace), North Africa, the Balkans, the Caucasus, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Central Asia and China. Kilim designs are made by interweaving the variously colored wefts and warps, thus creating what is known as a flatweave. Kilims are generally woven with the slit weave technique. The slit refers to the gap left between two blocks of color. It is created by returning the weft around the last warp in a color area, and the weft of the adjacent color is later returned around the adjacent warp. Weavers pack the weft tightly to completely cover the warp and often favor diagonal patterns so as to avoid weakening the structure of the rug with vertical slits. It produces bold, sharp patterns that weavers enjoy creating with more freedom allowed than a plain weave. This is also why kilims are so closely associated with geometrical designs even though there are are kilims with floral designs as well. These Kilims I found in abundance, DURING MY RECENT TRIP TO TURKEY , in museums , footpath , shops and I took lots of snaps and then took out portions that I converted into printable seamless patterns . These are not copyright by anyone as they were even lying on roads where people were just walking over them . Most of them were torn and old . The texture gives the print a 3d dimension .
