Unlike conventional kilim construction, Soumak weaving uses a distinctive weft-wrapping method in which yarns are wrapped around the warp threads, creating a textured surface that can resemble embroidery. This technique lends itself particularly well to sharply defined geometric motifs, stylized flowers, medallions, tribal symbols, and repeating angular compositions. Historically, Soumak construction was used not only for floor coverings but also for bags and other practical woven textiles used by nomadic and settled communities. Wool and naturally derived colors were commonly incorporated into traditional pieces. Contemporary Soumak-inspired rugs continue to be produced in several weaving regions, including India, preserving the characteristic texture and graphic patterning that distinguish this versatile flatwoven style.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"American Oriental Rug","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67666569003228,"sku":"AOR21466","price":799.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/1996\/6684\/files\/A21466.jpg?v=1791538049","url":"https:\/\/americanorientalrug.com\/products\/gold-handknotted-wool-aor21466","provider":"americanorientalrug","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
