Turkish Jijim (Cicim) Rugs
Jijim (also spelled Jijim, cicim) refers to a two-sided flat weave comprising narrow warp-faced strips sewn together. They are two-sided as they were originally woven for bedcovers to protect from the extreme cold in the tribal tent. Fine jijim, like kilims, are woven on horizontal loom. Patterns are made within the warps; the wefts can hardly be seen. Motifs can be striped, square, checkered, toothed, plain and parallel lines.
