Rug Weaving
Rugs emerged as a result of physical needs. However, later they have been enriched by the creativity and imagination of the people. Kilims have a special place and use in Anatolian life. Rugs are used in village life “from birth to death”. The inner world of the woman who weaves the rug by being inspired by the nature is reflected in the rugs as a synthesis of various colors and patterns.
Not only lines and shapes, but also colors do, so to say, speak! Red is love, green is wish, blue is hope, white is happiness, black is mourning.
In the Bayburt region, semi-reclining instar type looms made of wood, which are called by the people with names such as “tree loom”, “stretch tree”, “yarn tree”, are used. Istar, is an easy to transport and set up, practical, vertical warp system loom.
