Flatweave kilim in undyed grey wool with a broken-diamond pattern laid on a wooden floor

Broken Diamond Flatweave Kilim, Undyed Natural Greys

A flatwoven kilim in undyed grey and walnut wool, woven on a narrow upright loom.

Woven in a Nepali workshop that works almost entirely with undyed fleece. The greys come from three different sheep breeds, so the colour shifts gently across the field instead of sitting flat. The broken-diamond motif is a simplified version of a pattern we have been redrawing with weavers over the past two seasons, and the proportions sit well in long, narrow rooms.

Because there is no pile, the kilim sits low under doors and rolls up easily for storage. We suggest a thin underlay to keep the weave from shifting on polished floors.

Custom sizing is quoted from floor plans, and loom time is confirmed in weeks once the wool batch is set.

About the studio

Broken Diamond Flatweave Kilim, Undyed Natural Greys

Nima has spent eleven years between Kathmandu and Johannesburg, working directly with the weaving cooperatives that supply our kilims and handknotted rugs. She handles the wool sourcing, checks knot counts and flatweave density on arrival, and signs off on the finishing before anything reaches the showroom floor.

Her day-to-day work on pieces like this broken-diamond kilim is fairly specific: matching undyed fleece from different sheep breeds so the grey field reads evenly, confirming the 170 x 240 cm proportions against a client's hallway measurements, and advising on underlay and rotation for low-pile weaves. If you are weighing a swatch against your own floor, she is the person who answers.
