Summary
| Description |
English: Tiftik fabrics are woven as ‘seccade’ (prayer rug) or ‘battaniye’ (blanket, very supple and generally rather small - some 135 x 200 cm.), but can also be used to make ‘çanta’ (small shoulder bag). Made of the wool of the Angora goat (mohair). Mostly in natural colours (not dyed wool).
Regarding the ‘tiftik’ weaving technique: In ‘ordinary’ oriental knotted carpets, the weaver makes a double weft (back and forth) and then applies a full row of knots using twisted yarns (wool or silk), before weaving one double weft again. In ‘tiftik’ weaving you have about seven wefts before knotting; the knots are made of unspun wool ‘threads’, some 4 cm long. This produces a fabric with the appearance of fur.
