The Yürüks, who are semi-nomadic tribes, spend the winters on the warmer plains. They
produce the handmade carpets called Döşemealtı, by using the
pure wool and vegetal dyes they themselves make. The villages around Antalya and
the Turkish Riviera, are the centre of this type of carpet making. The design
reflects the nomadic taste, which is expressed in geometric pattems. and a
colour harmony of blues, dark greens and reds.
