Turkish carpets

Carpet weaving in Turkey originated in the 13th century and is still popular throughout the world today. It is difficult to imagine a Turkish house without a carpet; wealthy Turks and rulers of the country decorated the walls and floors with them. The main material for making carpets was and is wool. Dyes from natural plant components are still used; to obtain such dyes, local plants are used that cannot be found anywhere else. The main advantage of Turkish carpets from Persian carpets is the double Turkish knot, which ensures the strength and durability of the coating. They also boast a main border, double lining, and an internal cross border.

The most popular carpet-making centers in Turkey are Gaziantep, Kayseri, Konyan, Hereke, and Kula. Turkish carpets are varied in their colors, patterns, shapes and themes, this is explained by the fact that the areas where production is developed have their own style of work. The difference between the products is the quality of the wool and the composition of the dyes.

In Turkey you can find carpets with a cotton backing, and carpets made from natural silky materials are also especially popular. The raw material used to make such a carpet is natural silk yarn. They are distinguished by fresh floral patterns in bed shades and density. The number of knots per area per square meter reaches 2 million and are woven in pairs for several years. Turkish legend says that such a carpet can withstand the blow of a dagger flying down.
Turkish carpets combine the hard work of craftsmen and the thousand-year-old traditions and flavor of this country. The most popular composition is now considered a hit set, which has worthily replaced wool. The hit set is used in the manufacture of long-pile carpets and smooth rugs. Carpets from Turkey are a real work of art! They make any room cozy and no matter how long they last, they always remain in their original appearance, which pleases the eye.
