A Hand-Woven rug can also be called a Kilim, or Flatweave and it uses what is called a "Slit-weave" technique. The Slit-weave technique uses only a warp yarn as the foundation, allowing the weaver to build the rug by interlacing the yarn, as the weft. To avoid long vertical slits that can make a Hand-Woven rug not durable, most Kilim rugs are created with diagonal or horizontal patterns. This is why it's very common to see octagons, diamonds and triangular shapes in a Flatweave rug. It is known that Kilim rugs were first used by the Egyptians, dating back to about 1400 B.C. What makes a Hand-Woven rug so interesting? 1- Most Hand-Woven rugs are reversible. 2- Hand-Woven rugs are built with natural fibers,
