Özet:

Sağırlı is a village in the Bayat district of Afyonkarahisar province. It is 42 km from Afyonkarahisar city center and 15 km from Bayat district center. The economy of a village depends on agriculture and husbandry. Sağırlı village is a small nomadic village. Nomadic Turkish communities who spend their winters in coastal and temperate climates and summers in the highlands, which depend on animal husbandry, are called "yörüks". Weaving is very important for the nomads who are constantly migrating, carrying their houses and all the goods they use. The nomads living in Sağırlı village used the wool of the sheep they raised in their weaving. They applied the techniques of dense motif cicim and zili weaving, which is a very difficult technique, in their mats, saddlebags, prayer rugs and pillows. Çetinceviz, mountain entwined, curling, eye, duma, eysranlı, kirkitli, divorcing women, cow piss, yantırı, fork cross/bride cry, foot, goose foot grass, nail are motifs used in weaving. A wide variety of colors were used in the weavings. The weft threads and warp threads are the same color and are made of wool material. Wool and acrylic yarns are used in pattern yarns. In order to prevent the woven pillows and saddlebags from being disassembled, a "Kurdish" stitch is applied with a needle. When the surface schemes of the weavings are examined, although motifs arranged in shifted axes are seen in most samples, different arrangements are also seen. Today, weaving in Sağırlı village is completely finished. In this study, it is aimed to examine 14 weaving samples made with cicim and zili weaving technique, which were determined in Sağırlı village of Bayat district, in terms of technique, material used, color, motif and composition.
