Product Description and Distinguishing Features:
Karacakilavuz is a neighborhood of the Süleymanpaşa district of Tekirdağ province and this neighborhood is one of the important weaving centers of Anatolia. Local weavings are woven on looms with four pedals, called "order", made of oak and hornbeam trees. The most important feature of weaving is the use of twill, which is one of the shuttle weaving techniques, and the cicim technique, which is one of the weaving techniques with kirkit. Karacakilavuz Twill Weaves are fabricated wool and cotton threads. The threads used in weavings, which usually have a lively appearance, are colored with natural and aniline dyes. Karacakilavuz Twill Weaves, which are used in making amulets, prayer rugs, curtains, cushion faces, saddlebags, bags, and clothes, are designed in five different composition schemes: horizontal, vertical, scattering, central and mihrab.
Production Method:
Local weavings are woven on looms with four pedals (four strengths), called "lay", made of oak and hornbeam trees. The most important feature of these weavings is that they are made by using the cicim technique, which is one of the shuttle weaving techniques, twill and kirkit weaving techniques.
The threads to be used in weaving come in the form of a hank (the form of the threads to be used in weaving, which is not made into balls), and they are formed into balls by putting them on a gülcana/elemye (a tool used for winding hanks of thread into balls). When 15 balls are made, the threads are ready for warping. Warp preparation is started by putting 15 balls in 15 different bags.
A weaving base of 65 cm width and desired length is prepared from 740 handles. The ropes are taken from the stakes and wrapped in the marmara/levent with the help of 3 people. By placing the four powers in a high place, the ropes are passed through the power by applying the technique of passing the power with the help of two people. Then, with two people, two handles are passed from each wire of the comb and the process is passed through the comb. Then the threads are tied to the loom and the weaving process is started. The distinctive feature of the twill weaving technique is that it has four strengths and the threads pass through the comb twice.
