Abstract
One of the oldest arts of humanity is the art of weaving. Human beings, who need to protect themselves against natural conditions, used and developed weaving in clothing, shelter and heating, and later in different areas of their daily life. Over time, every culture has started to make decorations in their weaving according to their own understanding. Turks, one of the oldest civilizations in the world, have also developed the art of weaving according to their own culture. The Turks in Central Asia first obtained yarn by twisting the wool they obtained from animals and weaving. Later weaving with different materials developed.
Weaving motifs, which started with scenes of animal struggle in Central Asian weavings, developed by adding cloud pieces, birds, flowers and geometric motifs. The Turks, who gradually reduced the use of animal motifs after the acceptance of Islam, developed stylized plant and geometric motifs at an advanced level. The high-level weaving art of the Seljuks formed the basis of the Ottoman art of weaving, which would also be recognized in Europe.
