- Lot Description
Size: 4.9 x 7.4 Shipping Cost : $ 49.99 Condition: Perfect Condition Tulu is the English pronunciation for the Turkish word, "tüylü" meaning hairy. The technique used for weaving is similar to that of the Middle and Western Anatolian carpets. The number of wefts is slightly more than that of the regional carpets and the yarn for tying is spun loose giving it a more warm, soft and piled look. Tulu carpets are woven in Karapinar which is to the east of Konya, Turkey. This region is a half-desert like plain and to the north there are barren mountains. There are many ruins of ancient Anatolian civilizations dating back 7000 years. Till about 70-80 years ago the Turkoman villagers lived closely with the Greek villagers. Nature did not allow for much agriculture besides wheat and stock-breeding. There are about 30 villages situated around the plain which are all a part of Karapinar.
