Vintage tulu rug hand-woven in the second half of the 20th century in Turkey. Tulu is basically a kilim or a plainweave with tufts of wool or goat-hair yarn interwoven using the Turkish knot to form tuft patterns on the underlying design. Tulu is the English pronunciation for the Turkish word, "tüylü" meaning hairy. The technique used for weaving is very similar to "gabbeh" in Iran, "Beni Ourain" rugs of Morrocco and "ryijy" in Finland. All have been produced for functional purposes rather than commercially and in mountainous regions, so they all have thick pile for protection against cold.

All have been produced for functional purposes rather than commercially and in mountainous regions, so they all have thick pile for protection against cold. Their weaving is more coarse so they can be woven faster at home that the sophisticated fine rugs that can only be woven from a pattern in workshops. They mostly had "primitive" designs and used undyed hand-spun wool or few colors.

This is the second rug we have purchased from Kilim, and we are completely happy! The rug arrived as promised, looked in person as it did online, and the price was affordable. I plan to look for another rug from Kilim at some point.

Very easy to order. Communication great. Beautiful product at a not too costly price point. I feel like I purchased a “ one of a kind “ rug that you aren’t going to run across in every other home or magazine . Fits my style perfectly!

Verified orderI ordered a beautiful tulu runner
I ordered a beautiful tulu runner. I was blown away at how beautiful it was when it arrived. Not only was the rug even more beautiful in person and exceeded my expectations, but the package included so many special surprise gifts that were very meaningful to me and heartfelt by kilim.com. The shipping was free and fast I could not be happier with my purchase. I look forward to my next purchase.

The rug is exactly as pictured, it was well packaged, and a perfect addition in my space. There are so many wonderful options on the website to fit any size that you were looking for. I was concerned I wouldn’t be able to find a runner in the size that I needed and this is perfect.
