Kelim Afghan Edition – A Spectrum of Colours Between Tradition and Modernity

Kelim Afghan Edition rugs are distinguished by an extraordinary variety of colours, deeply rooted in Afghan weaving tradition. Classic models showcase bold, expressive hues such as deep red, intense blue, warm brown, or rich black – shades that originally stemmed from natural dyeing methods, imparting a unique depth and authenticity to the rug.

At the same time, Kelim Afghan Edition also includes modern interpretations of colour variants. These feature harmonious natural tones like beige, grey, or olive, as well as vibrant accents in turquoise, green, pink, or multi-coloured compositions. This diversity makes Afghan kelims particularly versatile: they can serve as both a traditional focal point and a stylish design element in contemporary living concepts.


Kilim

These kilim rugs show a decisive difference to hand-knotted rugs - they are woven by hand. Thus, they do not have a high pile of wool and are often flatter and rougher than knotted wool rugs. Their making is less elaborate and so they are usually much more affordable. As an advantage, kilim rugs are also much lighter and can be laid out from the front and back side. Hand-woven kilims originally come from the former Persia and are now also often made in Afghanistan. They have rather simple, straightforward patterns, which are determined by their weaving technique.

Handspun wool

This rug is made of hand spun sheep wool of the highest quality. Especially in Iran (former Persia), Afghanistan and Pakistan wool is still spun by hand before the actual knotting of the rug begins. Wool has proven itself as a natural and extremely hard-wearing material over centuries. Among other things, it has dirt-repellent and heat-insulating properties. At the same time, wool is incomparably soft and has a natural shine.

Woven by hand

This rug was made as a flat weave by hand on a loom. Flatweave is the term used to describe rugs that have no pile. As the name promises, these rugs are woven and not knotted. This results in a flat rug with a structured surface. Flatweaves are not as soft and usually thinner than knotted rugs. At the same time they are much less complex to manufacture and can usually be laid out from both sides (front and back). Their patterns are usually geometric, which is determined by the fabric.

Care & Fair

Following our ethical principles, we at Nain Trading are declared supporters of the organization CARE & FAIR. The goal is joint action by carpet dealers worldwide to give children from carpet weaver families in India and Pakistan the foundation for socially protected growing up. This improves the situation for the whole family in the long term. A child-friendly childhood for a life worth living - that is the mission.
