In the Afyon region, kilim wool is fine to medium.
The motifs can be quite varied, but the finger motif is often found in a more or less stylized form. Another frequent motif is the star.
The color palette is equally varied, with many shades of reds, oranges, greens and blues of varying intensity.
Weaves are generally dense.
Weaving: Women learned the art of kilim weaving from their mothers or grandmothers.
Kilims were woven by hand, using hand-spun wool, which they dyed as they went along.
Patterns and colors: Each region had its own way of spinning wool, its own patterns and its own palette of colors.
These antique kilims were intended for domestic use.
They were woven without drawing boards, which adds a real personal touch and makes them unique pieces.
Their beauty depends on the way the weaver has interpreted the motifs and combined the colors.
That's why we choose our kilims one by one, to select only the most beautiful.

Every day, the wool yarns used for weaving are between 5 and 10 meters long. The ends of the threads may protrude from the weave, but this does not weaken the carpet. If this is visually disturbing, you can cut them off. And over time, there will be less and less. In any case, to avoid accentuating this phenomenon, we recommend that you don't vacuum at maximum power and don't use brushes.
Liquid spills, wet the stain generously before rubbing and blotting. Perrier is a formidable ally against stains.
Grease stains, soak up as much grease as possible with paper towels or terre de Sommières.
Accidents involving animals, in this case, it's very important to act quickly, as animals release acids that will damage wool. Treat your kilim following the same advice as for spilled liquids
For a more thorough cleaning, it may be that the stains have not been completely treated, or that over the years, despite regular maintenance, dust has settled in and a grey veil has set in. In such cases, it's time to turn to a professional.
That's why we offer a cleaning service, carried out by a company specialized in manual and wet carpet cleaning.
