Kilim Tours is a branch of Turkish Heritage Travel which was set up to help you learn more about kilims and how to make one yourself.

The Classic Kilim Tour lasts for 15 days. For the first 3 days you will stay in a village near Yahyali in central Anatolia . Some of Turkey 's finest kilims are still hand-woven in this area. During the tour you will stay with a village family so that you can observe the different processes involved in making a kilim for yourself. Amongst other things you will learn:

how wool is hand-spun
how wool is coloured using
     traditional vegetable dyes
how to weave a kilim

You will also learn about the different motifs used in weaving kilims and what they mean.

For the last 12 days of the tour you will stay in Goreme in Cappadocia amid the fairy chimneys. You will stay in our restored cave house and have the opportunity to try your hand at weaving a kilim for yourself.
