Silk Road Series 100% Silk Handwoven Kilim AQUA
Silk Road Series 100% Silk Handwoven Flatweave Rug – Aqua
The Silk Road Series Handwoven Flatweave Rug is a refined, delicate collection that brings the natural radiance of silk to the traditional flatweave form with its 100% silk construction. Its pile-free flatweave structure and 2000 g/m² density offer a lightweight yet substantial drape; the silk fiber’s light-responsive sheen adds depth to the surface. Each handwoven rug emerges from the artisan’s loom with its own unique character. This variant comes in a refreshing aqua tone; the shimmer of the silk brings a cool, bright atmosphere to any space.
What Is Silk?
Silk is a natural protein fiber obtained from the cocoon of the silkworm; it is considered one of the finest and strongest natural fibers in nature. Its distinctive triangular cross-section refracts light like a prism, giving silk a natural brilliance and a depth of tone that changes with the light, unlike any other fiber. The use of 100% silk in the Silk Road Series gives the rug a silky fluidity, an elegant shimmer, and a cool, smooth touch.
What Is a Kilim (Flatweave)?
A kilim is a traditional floor covering made using a pile-free flatweave technique. Since it has no pile, it is thin, passes easily under doors, and is easy to lay and move. Both sides can be used, making the kilim both practical and durable. In the Silk Road Series, this traditional form is woven with 100% silk yarn to create an elegant interpretation suited to contemporary spaces.
Silk Road and the Spirit of the Silk Road
The name of the series comes from the historic Silk Road, which connected East and West. For centuries, caravans carried silk, patterns, and craftsmanship along this route to Anatolia; the kilim is one of the most enduring legacies of this journey. By bringing this heritage together with a 100% silk texture, the Silk Road Series introduces both the warmth of history and a modern simplicity to living spaces.

How Should a Silk Kilim Be Cleaned?
Silk kilims from the Silk Road Series should only be cleaned by professional rug-cleaning companies. Silk fiber is sensitive to water, moisture, and chemicals; washing or wet cleaning at home is not recommended. For daily care, use a low-suction vacuum cleaner and gently blot spills with a slightly damp cloth without delay to preserve the kilim’s shimmer and texture for longer.

Protect Elegance
A delicate care routine should be adopted to preserve the original splendor and silky texture of Carpetdocia's handwoven and natural-fiber pieces, which add value to your living space, for generations to come.
Immediate Action and Contact with Liquids
When liquid is spilled, timing is the most critical factor. Using a clean, slightly damp cloth, remove the liquid from the surface by gently blotting only, never rubbing. Always work in the direction of the rug's pile (the natural direction in which the fibers lie). Rubbing can damage the shape of delicate fibers such as TENCEL™ and viscose. If you are unsure, stop immediately.
Routine Care and Light Balance
For your weekly cleaning routine, always use vacuum cleaners with low suction power. High-powered upright vacuum cleaners and stiff brushes can damage the natural structure of handwoven yarns. To balance the reaction of natural yarns to light and prevent localized tonal differences (fading), we recommend changing the direction of your rug every 2 to 6 months.
The Expert Touch (Professional Cleaning)
Noble textures such as handwoven fibers, TENCEL™, viscose, and New Zealand wool should not come into contact with household chemical cleaners. Such products can irreversibly damage the rug's silky sheen and structural integrity. For deep cleaning, seek assistance only from professional rug care centers specializing in natural fibers.
