Flatweave
No pile — warp and weft interlock to create a flat, reversible fabric. Examples: dhurrie, kilim.
In a flatweave, coloured [[weft]] yarns pass over and under the warp threads to build the pattern. There is no knot or pile, which makes flatweaves lightweight, reversible, easy to clean, and well-suited to layering, dining rooms and high-traffic contract spaces. See [[dhurrie]], [[kilim]], [[warp]], [[weft]].
