Turkish Konya Kilim Repair 2 - Before


Above is a picture of another area of the vibrant Turkish Konya kilim that was the subject of a recent project of ours.   We had already cleaned the kilim before undertaking the repair of another section of the kilim so we needed only to affix the kilim to a wooden loom and remove all compromised fibers.  Luckily, the warp (the white horizontal threads pictured above) was intact, so we were able to use it for the foundation of our reweaving.  Matching the brown weft would be the next challenge.  --
