YAHYALI

Yahyali carpets are produced in a very small region. Pure wool and vegetal dyes are used in the making of Yahyali carpets. These carpets, adorned with stylised floral patterns and geometric designs, are famous all over the world. Manufactured in villages, they reflect local colours and the use of high quality materials. The artists produce theit own materials for weaving and dyeing. Dominant colours of a Yahyali carpet are navy blue, red and brown; other colours are used among these. The major designs of a ' 'mihrab', or a medallion are elaborated with the addition of geometric patterns. Yahyali carpets are manufactured in a limited range of sizes.
