Sumak 254x180 cm

The term ‘Sumak’ (Soumak) describes a flat-weave technique; it can be referred to as
‘weft float brocading’. Sumak may constitute the entire fabric of a carpet, or be used
to form decorative band or individual motifs, adding interest and texture to Kilim
and the end of the pile carpet. When the Sumak constitutes the whole fabric it is
necessary to weave in at frequent intervals a thinner foundation weft, which is then
hidden by the surface weft. This maintains the strength of the fabric and prevents it
from becoming to loose.
This one is woven with good quality wool and is tightly woven for a no pile style rug as well
as being decorative and beautiful. The design is very interesting and is very traditional in
its stature of quality Sumak.
