Wool Soumaks are handwoven flatweave rugs distinguished by their unique wrapping technique and richly textured surface. Crafted entirely from natural wool, these textiles combine durability with intricate design, making them both functional and highly decorative.
Unlike traditional kilims, wool soumaks are created by wrapping supplementary weft threads around the warp, producing raised patterns and detailed motifs. This technique gives wool soumaks a more dimensional appearance and a slightly heavier feel, while still maintaining the flexibility of a flatweave textile.
The designs often feature tribal, geometric, and symbolic patterns, reflecting the artistic heritage of nomadic weaving traditions. Thanks to their wool structure, these soumaks are suitable for layering, runners, wall decor, and light to medium floor use, adding warmth and texture to interior spaces.
