Turkish Konya Kilim Repair 2 - After

Above is the final result of our repair project on this beautiful Turkish Konya kilim.  After affixing this area to a wooden loom, we rewove the missing and compromised weft.  As always, we strove to have the new yarns match the original yarns as much as possible.  A good repair or restoration will blend into the original as much as possible and will not attract attention to itself.  This can be a particular challenge  when a piece is older and its yarns have been subjected to wonderful years of muting from sunlight or wear from kind use.   As a reminder, below is a picture of what the area looked like before our repair.  -www.traditionalrugrepair.com
