BALOUCH - KILIM NEEDLEPOINT KIT
Our contemporary interpretation of traditional
Kilim motifs from Central Persia


Balouch Kilim and companion needlepoint pillows in sages and teals from the cross-point Collection

Companions in teals-Celtic Cross #CEL-07, Balouch #BAL-08, Chevron #CHE-07

Our BALOUCH needlepoint Kilim pattern is one of the most popular designs in the Cross-Point™ Collection. Kits are available in eight colorways, two pillow sizes, and a Long Border with a coordinating smaller pillow insert. Upholstery and custom colors are also available.

Its bold stepped medallions and intricate geometric borders create a timeless pattern that is both visually striking and enjoyable to stitch. The stepped medallion is one of the most enduring geometric motifs in textile history and appears to connect human creativity across continents and centuries. BALOUCH brings the rich heritage of this universal symbol into today's homes.

Although the crisp geometry appears intricate, BALOUCH is one of those projects that quickly becomes a favorite. To make stitching simple and easy, every kit includes our Special Stitching Aid: separate charts for the stepped medallion outlines in the center panel. Once these have been stitched following our specific instructions, the remaining colors are easily filled in. Like all our kilim type patterns, Balouch is fast, easy and fun to stitch and as some stitchers have said, it can be addictive!

Historically, kilims were woven on small ground looms easily moved from camp to camp by nomadic people. Using our proprietary cross-point™ stitching technique - no frame or hoop - your project is equally portable, allowing you to enjoy the freedom of carrying your work wherever life takes you.

Each kit contains large charts in colors and symbols, fabric, luxurious French tapestry wool, needles, and detailed instructions specific to the individual pattern, including additional charts for outlines and other details where helpful. "E" patterns are especially easy for beginners; "X" patterns are recommended for experienced stitchers because separate design elements require more careful counting across background areas. Unclassified patterns can be stitched by anyone with a little practice. Also included are our cross-point™ Technique sheets. Kits do not include backing or trim.

For Custom Colors and Custom Upholstery, please see Custom Services.

Balouch kits have an additional "outlines" chart for easy counting.This pattern is fun and fast stitching and with the outline chart, is easy for beginners.
