Woolen Kilim "Laodikeia"

Beautiful wool kilim rug with a simple geometric pattern. This decor does not belong to the classical Anatolian patterns, but seems to refer to the Bulgarian "Bakamski" pattern or perhaps even much older ancient textiles with its subtle natural colours and archetypal representation.

It is a woolen kilim Anatolian type, i.e. it was woven in Turkey in the Anatolian region, more specifically near the former Greek city of Laodikeia. If we compare the Anatolian woolen kilims with the Balkan ones, the main difference lies in the fact that slightly thicker yarns are used to weave the Anatolian ones, which makes them faster to weave and therefore almost half the price of the Balkan kilims.

The Anatolian weavers also use only woollen yarn, even for the warp, where the Bulgarian ones use cotton. Anatolian kilims, and therefore this wool kilim rug, are woven exclusively from yarns that have been dyed with natural dyes.
