Silk Road Series 100% Silk Handwoven Kilim AQUA
Silk Road Collection 100% Silk Handwoven Kilim - Aqua
The Silk Road Collection Handwoven Kilim is a fine and elegant collection that brings silk’s natural luster to the traditional kilim form with its 100% silk texture. Its pile-free flatweave construction and 2000 g/m² density offer a lightweight yet substantial feel, while the silk fibers’ light-catching sheen adds depth to the surface. Each handwoven kilim comes from the artisan’s loom with its own distinctive character. This version features a fresh aqua hue, adding a cool, bright feel to your space with the shimmer of silk.
What Is Silk?
Silk is a natural protein fiber obtained from the cocoon of the silkworm and is considered one of the finest and strongest natural fibers. Its distinctive triangular cross-section refracts light like a prism, giving silk a natural sheen and a depth of tone that shifts with the light, unlike any other fiber. The 100% silk used in the Silk Road Collection gives the kilim a silky drape, an elegant shimmer, and a cool, smooth feel.
What Is a Kilim (Flatweave)?
A kilim is a traditional floor covering made using a pile-free flatweave technique. With no pile, it is thin, fits easily under doors, and is easy to lay out and carry. Both sides can be used, making it both practical and long-lasting. In the Silk Road Collection, this traditional form is woven with 100% silk yarn for an elegant interpretation suited to contemporary spaces.
Silk Road and the Spirit of the Silk Road
The collection takes its name from the historic Silk Road, which connected East and West. For centuries, caravans carried silk, patterns, and craftsmanship to Anatolia along this route; kilims are among its most enduring legacies. The Silk Road Collection brings this heritage together with a 100% silk texture, adding both the warmth of history and modern simplicity to your living spaces.

How Do You Clean a Silk Kilim?
Silk kilims from the Silk Road Collection should only be cleaned by professional rug-cleaning companies.

Protect Its Elegance
To preserve the original splendor and silky texture of Carpetdocia’s handwoven creations made with natural fibers—which add value to your living space—for generations, a careful care routine is essential.
Immediate Action and Liquid Spills
When a liquid spills, timing is critical. Using a clean, slightly damp cloth, blot the liquid gently from the surface without 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 in doubt, stop immediately.
Routine Care and Light Balance
For your weekly cleaning routine, always use a vacuum cleaner with low suction. High-powered upright vacuums and stiff brushes can damage the natural structure of handwoven yarns. To balance how natural yarns react to light and prevent uneven changes in color (fading), we recommend rotating your rug every 2 to 6 months.
Expert Care (Professional Cleaning)
Fine textures such as handwoven fibers, TENCEL™, viscose, and New Zealand wool should not come into contact with household chemical cleaners. These products can irreversibly damage the rug’s silky sheen and structural integrity. For a thorough clean, seek help only from professional rug care centers specializing in natural fibers.
Washing Instructions
Due to their construction, the exceptional pieces in Carpetdocia collections are not suitable for machine washing. (Only our specific models explicitly marked “Washable” in their names can be washed in household machines on a low-temperature, delicate cycle.)
