Introducing Recycled Yarn Kilims

8 Apr 2023

INTRODUCING RECYCLED YARN KILIMS




Sustainability is an important topic in today's world, and for good reason. As we become more aware of the impact of our actions on the environment, it is crucial that we make changes in our daily lives that help to reduce waste and protect the planet. That's why we're excited to announce the addition of our Turkish Recycled Yarn Kilims to the Knots Rugs shop - a beautiful and eco-friendly option for those looking to decorate their homes sustainably.


These kilims have been hand-woven by female weavers in Turkey, using traditional weaving methods that have been passed down through generations. The recycled yarns used in these kilims come from vintage Kilims that can no longer be restored, making each piece truly unique and one-of-a-kind. The use of recycled materials not only makes these Kilims environmentally friendly but also helps to preserve the traditional craft of Kilim weaving.


One of the most remarkable aspects of these kilims is that the weavers have the freedom to select their own design and colour scheme. This means that each piece tells its own story through its colors and patterns, making it a beautiful addition to any room in your home. The rich history and culture of Kilim weaving is reflected in each piece, creating a timeless and distinctive look that is sure to capture the attention of anyone who sees it.




In addition to their beauty and uniqueness, these recycled Kilims also have a positive impact on the environment. By using recycled materials, we're reducing the amount of waste that ends up in landfills, which is a significant step towards a more sustainable future. Knots Rugs is committed to sustainability, and these Kilims are just one example of how we're working towards this goal.


In summary, the Turkish Recycled Yarn Kilims from Knots Rugs are not only beautiful and unique, but they're also an eco-friendly option that helps to preserve the traditional craft of Kilim weaving. These kilims tell their own story through their colors and patterns, creating a distinctive and timeless look for any room in your home. By choosing sustainable options like these, we can all play a part in creating a better future for our planet.

Translating Art into Rugs

At Knots Rugs, the story of each rug goes far beyond the finished product. It starts with an idea, a spark of inspiration and grows into something tangible, something you can feel beneath your feet but also connect on a deeper level. The journey of rug making begins with a design and what makes our story different is our collaborations with different artists, in which we translate their arts into rugs. Creating a living piece of story and art for your homes.
