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

Balouch Kilim and companion kits 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. 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. 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.
