Our kilim rug is made of sabra silk ,100% vegetable silk blend of extracted filaments from the aloe cactus grown in Morocco. Once the Cactus plant is collected from the long agave plants, the long spiky leaves are crushed and the fibers washed and hammered, then the leaves are soaked in water to separate the fibers & filaments and then these are spun and woven to make “silk thread” which are then dyed in different colors.
The textile produced makes Sabra-Silk. Sabra silk is lightweight and highly durable, making it perfect for a high traffic room or a wall hanging. – durable flat weave threads are woven at one end, fringed at the other.
The back of kilim rug is entirely different than the front, the cactus silk treads are cut.
