Soumaks
are woven using the supplementary weft technique. In plain kilims, the horizontal
weft threads pass over and under vertical warp threads. In Soumaks, the wefts
actually wrap around the warps--resulting in a thicker rug with a rich embroidered
look.Turkish and Persian Soumaks are both beautiful and durable--a good choice
for high traffic areas.
