About Taşpınar Carpet
Taşpınar hand-woven carpets : From the Seljuk period to the present day, Aksaray and its surrounding area have been renowned for Taşpınar carpet weaving. The women craftspeople living in the town of Taşpınar, affiliated with Aksaray, meticulously weave them with their hands. These precious hand-woven carpets, named after the Taşpınar region, have become integral to our lives. Let's examine the general characteristics of these unique and incomparable Taşpınar carpets.
Features of Taşpınar Hand-Woven Carpets
Due to the climate, Taşpınar is heavily populated by livestock farming. Wool yarn is obtained from the animals raised in the region through shearing. One of the most important characteristics of Taşpınar carpets is their pure wool raw material. The tradition of using wool in the warp, weft, and knot threads has been meticulously preserved to this day.
Due to the geographical conditions of the Taşpınar region, its mountainous terrain, and the richness of its plant species, natural dyes, primarily madder and buckthorn, are used in yarn dyeing. Dark red and navy blue are the most common colors used in carpets. In addition to these, red, henna powder, cinnamon, gray blue, cream, and black are also frequently used. Recently, the use of antique washing techniques has made carpet colors more pastel, making them more suitable for different decorating styles.
The unique motifs of Taşpınar rugs are unique and original to the region. One of the most important patterns of this rug is its cinnamon color, thick borders, and traditional medallion motifs. Because Taşpınar rugs are rarely woven today, the value of these vintage rugs increases over time.
