Turkey Tapestry or Needlepoint Designs
Turkey
You cannot travel in Turkey without being aware of
carpets and
Tapestry.
From Istanbul through Anatolia, to southern and
eastern Turkey we found wonderful, hand-knotted,
brilliantly coloured carpets, even in the smallest
villages. Seeing the dye vats where the colours were
mixed was incredibly interesting. Once dyed, the wools
were hung up to dry ready for the local women to knot
their traditional designs. It was well worth getting off
the beaten track to visit the mountain villages where
each community have their own particular designs. Our
Tapestry Kits reflect this
colour
