kelim
(redirected from kilim)

    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.10 sec.

kelim

Oriental carpet or rug that is flat, pileless, and reversible. Kelims are made by a tapestry-weave technique. Weft thread of one colour is worked to and fro in one area of the pattern; the next colour continues the pattern from the adjacent warp thread, so that no weft thread runs across the full width of the carpet.
