What does KILIM mean in Scrabble?
noun
A flat, pileless woven rug or tapestry, traditionally made in Turkey, the Caucasus, and neighboring regions.
A kilim differs from a knotted carpet because its pattern is woven directly into the flat surface rather than tied on as tufts, which makes it lighter and reversible. Weavers have long used a kilim for floor coverings, wall hangings, and even saddle bags, decorating it with bold geometric patterns passed down within a family or region. The word came into English from Turkish and is now used broadly for this style of rug wherever it is produced.
