Egyptian Handmade Kilim Rug/Goblan

In Egypt, where the fleece of the sheep and the hair of the camel and goat grow long and fine, the art of handmade carpet-weaving reached its height early in the 16th century.

The artisan worked on a handloom consisting essentially of two horizontal beams on which the warp (the vertical threads) was stretched; on the lower one the finished carpet was rolled while the warp unrolled from the upper one. The yarn for the pile, spun and dyed by hand, was cut in lengths of about 2 in. (5.1 cm) and knotted about the warp threads, one tuft at a time. After a row of knots had been placed across the width of the loom, two or more horizontal threads of cotton or flax were woven in and beaten into place with a heavy beater, or comb. The tufts, or pile, thus appeared only on the face of the fabric, which when completed was sheared to perfect smoothness.

Although the hair of the camel and the goat was used in the weaving of Egyptian handmade carpets, the wool of the sheep was the essential component. The quality of a carpet depends on the materials used and the number of knots per square inch of surface, which may vary from 40 to 1,000. Also produced in Egypt are the geometrically patterned and flat woven rugs known as kilims.
