Dhurries & kelims or kilims rugs made in India are mostly in wool

Dhurries & kelims or kilims rugs made in India are mostly in wool.

What are kelims/dhurries :

These are mostly flatwoven rugs, manufactured by hand, mostly in India.

The trend of floor covering is changing from pile rugs to flat-woven rugs, which are also called kelims/kilims or say dhurries too.

There are various designs and patterns developed in this kind, earlier the designs were mostly very complicated in dull colours and style, but now these are getting made more in contemporary and modern designs.

Types of dhurries-rugs :

These are made in wool, with cotton as warp and weft. There are also jute kilims made which are with wool warp.

Transformation of different designs in dhurries or durries are very common, one of the small example is plaid.. This was the design which was used in fabric, but now these have also been transformed and flat woven rugs are being made in these.

Another trend this time is using natural colour woolen yarns in making natural look carpets. These are available in many shades, popularly in brown, beige, silver and so on.

“One more thing is weaving of these kind of rugs, which gives different look of designs. These rugs are also reversible rugs, mean that you can use laying on both the sides,whichever side you wish to have, if one side it is black and white, and when you turn, its white and black.”

These are mostly manufactured in India, all are handmade, with looms called PUNJA LOOMS. Earlier the looms were straight on floors, but now the trend is also of straight looms like hand-knotted, on which weavings are more fast.
