Authentic Afghan Maimana Kilim rug 64x87 cm

The Maimana Kilim with product code 104269 is 64 cm wide and 87 cm long, a handmade Kilim made from 100% wool. The Afghan rug's red and beige colours also feature prominently in photographs of the full surface. Its approximately 4–5 mm thickness is a feature of the Kilim's flat-woven construction.

Size and woven construction of the Maimana Kilim

The 64 × 87 cm rug covers approximately 0.56 m². Both side measurements matter: the width and length together describe this small Maimana Kilim rug. Alongside the exact specifications, the product's own photographs help you examine the whole Kilim and its textile surface close up.

During hand weaving, a crosswise yarn is passed between the lengthwise yarns on the loom to create the rug. The lengthwise yarns are called the warp, and the crosswise yarns are the weft. Their interlacing forms the flat Kilim. This Kilim is entirely made from wool, so both the material and woven structure matter when choosing how to care for it. The Maimana Kilim's weight per unit area is approximately 1.4 kg/m², meaning the figure refers to one square metre of the woollen Kilim.

Afghan handmade Kilim, from weaving to drying

The Maimana Kilim rug originates in Afghanistan and is a hand woven textile. During production, wool yarns are interlaced on the loom. The maker builds the Kilim's surface row by row. The video and workshop photograph help explain Kilim production, while product code 104269 identifies the rug available to order.

Washing and drying are also among the finishing stages after weaving. The finished Kilims are washed and dried in the sun in favourable weather; fans are used when needed. Washing during production does not mean that cleaning at home should use large amounts of water. Care of the Maimana Kilim requires limited moisture and treatment suited to wool.

The workshop photograph below shows the hand-weaving work.

Gentle cleaning of the wool Maimana Kilim rug

Choose your vacuum cleaner's low setting for regular dust removal from the rug. The aim is to remove surface dirt gently, without straining the weave. Avoid pulling hard or using rough mechanical cleaning methods. Its small size does not alter the fact that a woollen Kilim needs careful handling.

If a stain occurs, begin treating it as soon as possible with a slightly damp cloth. Do not soak the rug, and test even a wool-safe cleaner on a small, less visible area before use. Continue cleaning only after checking the result. If the dirt persists, consult a specialist experienced in cleaning handmade rugs instead of repeatedly applying forceful treatment.

For a full clean, tell the specialist that this is a Maimana Kilim made from 100% wool. Avoid using a carpet beater, as beating can damage the weave. The image below illustrates this once-common method, which is not recommended for a handmade Kilim.

Avoid the beating method shown here on this woollen Kilim.
