Journey with us as we uncover the thousand-year-old history of kilim weaving, originating from the Central Asian Turks. We'll explore the meticulous craftsmanship involved, from shearing and dyeing wool with natural dyes to the skillful techniques passed down through generations. Discover how each kilim tells a unique story, reflecting the weaver's creativity and cultural identity. We'll also discuss the significance of UNESCO's recognition of Turkish kilim weaving as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. This honor highlights the importance of preserving this ancient art form amidst modern pressures and commercial imitations. By supporting traditional kilim artisans, we help maintain a living tradition that continues to enrich Turkish culture.
