Vintage Kilim Konya 315x221cm
This original Kilim was hand-woven in Anatolia. It's made of hand spun, naturally dyed sheep wool. Before starting the weaving, the artist was sheering her sheep, cleaning, combing and spinning the wool to have the best yarn for her kilim. After spinning the wool she was dying it in a complex process with natural dyes. This whole process could take one year or even longer.
This woven piece of art is one-of-a-kind and was made for self use. Nomads and farmers were using their kilims as rugs on the floor, as tent or wall hangings, as covers or transportation bags. The pattern and symbols on kilims always have special meanings. They are standing for protection, blessings, abundance or the unity of lovers.
All Wild Heart Free Soul kilims are cleaned in a natural way and restored professionally under our guidance and control. We guarantee for authenticity, high quality and fair trade.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS
All our vintage kilims and rugs are completely handmade. The sheep wool yarn is hand-spun and dyed. Due to its high lanolin content, the high-quality wool shines beautifully. A luster that cannot be achieved with industrially manufactured yarn. After the elaborate production of the yarn, the kilim is hand-woven on a traditional wooden loom. This process often takes several months, sometimes even over a year.
CLEANING AND RESTORATION
Our cleaning process takes place cyclically, in harmony with nature.
Our carpets are cleaned only once a year at the beginning of summer. For this, we use only water and pure olive soap. Afterwards, we work with the power of the sun to intensify the cleaning process. The strong sun in Anatolia between June and September bleaches stubborn stains and discolorations, removes odors, is antibacterial and keeps moths and insects away. Thanks to the power of nature, we can completely do without environmentally harmful chemicals.
Finally, our kilims are mechanically stretched and then sent to Istanbul. In our atelier in Sultanahmet, each carpet is individually stretched into shape, the ends are re-knotted using the Turkish knotting technique so that the weave does not come loose. In addition, holes and discolored areas are restored true to the original. The complete cleaning and restoration process takes

Material
Sheep wool is a natural and very high-quality material. All our carpets are woven from hand-spun sheep's wool yarn, which consists of long fibers and has a very high lanolin (wool grease) content. This makes the wool particularly dirt-resistant, water-repellent, and antibacterial.
Sheep wool is also a living material that becomes softer and shinier over the years with use and the influence of sun, air, and water. It's a material that ages beautifully, is absolutely environmentally friendly and free of pollutants, and cleans and regenerates itself.
Care
With loving care and regular maintenance, a Wild Heart Free Soul Kilim will still look like new after 20-30 years and can therefore survive several generations.
Our kilims do not require a lot of care, but rather the right kind. A kilim should be regularly and gently vacuumed or beaten out. Stains can always be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth. Food residues can be easily scraped off or brushed out when dry.
However, a kilim should not remain wet for long, as it can warp. Therefore, we do not recommend washing it yourself. If you feel the need to wash your kilim, please contact
