MANUFACTURING PROCESS

All our vintage kilims and rugs are completely handmade. The sheep's wool yarn is hand-spun and dyed. Due to the high lanolin content, the high-quality wool shines particularly beautifully. A shine that cannot be achieved with industrially produced yarn. After the elaborate production of the yarn, the kilim is hand-woven on a traditional wooden loom. This process usually takes several months or 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 exclusively use water and pure olive soap. Afterwards, we use the power of the sun to intensify the cleaning process. The strong sun in Anatolia between June and September bleaches out stubborn stains and discolourations, removes odours, is antibacterial, and keeps moths and insects away. Thanks to the power of nature, we can completely avoid environmentally harmful chemicals.

Finally, our kilims are mechanically beaten and then sent to Istanbul. In our atelier in Sultanahmet, each carpet is individually stretched into shape, the ends are re-knotted using the technique of the Turkish knot, so that the weave does not come undone. In addition, holes and discoloured areas are faithfully restored. The complete cleaning and restoration process

Material

Sheep's 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 hairs and has a very high lanolin (wool grease) content. This makes the wool particularly dirt-resistant, water-repellent and antibacterial.

Sheep's wool is also a living material that becomes softer and shinier with age through use and the influence of sun, air and water. It is a material that ages gracefully, is absolutely environmentally friendly and free of harmful substances, 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 thus be handed down through several generations.

Our kilims do not require a lot of care, but they do require the right care. A kilim should be regularly and carefully vacuumed or beaten out. Stains can always be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth. Food residues can be simply brushed off or out once 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 us.
